The Lakes

Classic English Dry Gin

£29.99

The Lakes Distillery, just outside of Keswick, is a must-visit if you're on holiday in the Lakes District National Park. Although they're perhaps better known for their whiskies, The Lakes Distillery also produce a stunning range of gins - which again come served in bottles almost too beautiful to open! 

Their classic English gin is distilled using pure Cumbrian water from the River Derwent, and it's a true taste of the Lakes. 

Even the juniper is local to Cumbria, while many of the other botanicals are locally foraged - including bilberry, heather, hawthorn, mint and meadowsweet. I love how smooth this gin is, and beneath the strong punch of local juniper, there's a zesty, peppery finish that makes for a dreamy G&T.
