Our Cuckold’s Revenge Gin was the first of our Lake District gins to win a Great Taste Award, one of eleven we’ve achieved so far! The judges described the botanicals as, “An interesting and beguiling blend of aromatics, soft and mysterious, delivering layers of citrus and spice with a lovely warming finish”.

We only use the best quality ingredients and, where possible, we source these as locally as we can. For example, the chillies used in our Chilli Fest Gin are grown by local producer Picking Posies and it’s a great gin for those who prefer a little heat in their tipple. However, if you prefer your tipple to be a little sweeter, we’ve created an artisan liqueur made with local Cumbrian ingredients: our limited edition Christmas gift, Festive Bramble Gin Elixir is made with locally grown Heritage Apples, plums, and foraged Blackberries. Our Shed Loads of Love: full of lavender, rose, strawberry, citrus and just a hint of chilli, is the perfect gin to show your love and appreciation, and is particularly popular for Valentine’s Day and Mothers’ Day.

Sometimes it’s difficult to choose which one of our craft Lake District gins would make the best present for your near and dear. But have no fear! We have a Gin Gift Pack that contains 3x10cl bottles of our gins, enough in each to share with other gin lovers.

Looking for a sustainable gin? We won The Gin Guide’s Environmental Sustainability Award in 2020, 2021 & 2022. Also, part of our sales go to charity through our Marmalade Fund. So, you can enjoy the gift of Lake District gin while knowing it’s helping good causes. We can even add a personal message to your gift package with our free gift stickers and gift cards.
