Test Here is latest product from the Lakes Distillery line of exceptional spirits. A super premium gin, the Explorer Edition takes the Cumbrian classic to a new level of extraordinary flavour and complexity.

The distillery is located in the Lakes District National Park and is ideally situated to take full advantage of the native juniper and other gin botanicals which grow wild in the fells. Made from the ultra-pure waters of the River Derwent, this premium craft gin continues the Lake District Distillery tradition of producing their spirits in uniquely fashioned copper pot stills. The end product is a superior gin with a 47.3% alcohol content that is distinctly shaped by its Cumbrian ingredients.

When you put your nose to the bottle you’ll enjoy a vibrant fragrance of orange citrus, coriander and cassia bark with just a touch of earl grey tea and cracked black pepper. On the tongue, you’ll experience a highly complex blend of juniper, spice and coriander with a markedly peppery end-note.

The Lakes Explorer Edition should be kept in a cool dark place and served ice cold from the freezer. Enjoy it neat or over ice, and add a slice of pink grapefruit to draw out the subtleties of this remarkable gin. The delightful Wedgewood-blue frosted bottle makes a thoughtful gift or a special treat to treasure for yourself.

If you’ve never been to the Lakes District, there’s no better introduction to its natural bounty than savouring this native gin. And if Cumbria holds a special place in your heart, you’ll find its essence in every intricate sip.
