Grasmere Distillery have been crafting their specialist gin and vodka for over a decade. As a family-run business, each spirit is made from scratch and bottled onsite at their home in Grasmere, at the heart of the Lake District. They pride themselves on being a truly ‘craft’ enterprise: without hedge funds or corporate owners to keep happy, they are free to produce on a small scale only, ensuring quality reigns over volume.
Grasmere Distillery is one of very few distilleries in the UK to manufacture their own base liquid, rather than adding flavouring to pre-made ‘neutral spirit’. Their distillers, Paul and Dennis, distil their own high-proof vodka or Dry House Gin from a base of soft Cumbrian water, collected locally. From there, fresh fruit and exotic botanicals are added to create their signature flavours, Blood Orange Gin and Pink Berries Gin. Paul and Dennis also installed a beautiful double copper pot still in the spring of 2024, with their first casks of single malt whisky due in 2027.
