The Lakes Distillery is a UK-based food and beverage startup founded in 2011. Nestled alongside the River Derwent in the picturesque Lake District, the company prides itself on creating opulent whiskies rich in flavor and complexity. Their unique approach, sacrificing efficiency for a distinctive long buttercream mouthfeel, sets them apart in the industry. Having recently secured a significant £2.22M in Equity Crowdfunding from Crowdcube on 23 February 2022, The Lakes Distillery continues to gain recognition for its innovative techniques and dedication to flavor creation. Renowned for being the first English distillery to be awarded the title of “World’s Best Single Malt Whisky” at the World Whiskies Awards, their commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging traditional conventions in the industry is evident. Operating out of a meticulously restored 160-year-old farm, the company offers 'behind the scenes' tours of their state-of-the-art distillery, providing visitors with the opportunity to sample their exclusive collection of spirits. With a strong emphasis on nature and art, The Lakes Distillery is a compelling investment opportunity in the ever-growing and evolving spirits market.
