On 1st March, The Lakes Distillery is launching a Crowdcube fundraising campaign to support an increase in production of the award-winning Lakes Single Malt Whisky.
Following a two-year expansion project to triple spirit-making capacity and grow the cask warehousing footprint at their state-of-the-art distillery, the Lake District whiskymaker is poised to increase the amount of single malt spirit they lay down and mature into future stock.
The fundraising comes at an exciting time for the distillery, following a series of successes that have ensured The Lakes is listed in some of the most prestigious bars, restaurants and hotels, and the finest whisky retailers in the UK.
Working in partnership with international distributors in China, Japan, Singapore, and across Europe, they have plans to launch into some of the biggest whisky markets in the world.
Nigel Mills, co-founder and CEO at The Lakes Distillery, said, “We are part of a dynamic and growing whisky market, where the consumer is actively seeking out new and quality taste experiences from around the world.
“At The Lakes, everything we do is focused on creating exceptional flavours and delivering a quality experience, and I genuinely believe we have the right people and are in the right place at the right time to scale our business globally. This is an opportunity for people to join us on that journey.”
On a mission to make one of the finest sherry matured single malt whiskies in the world, The Lakes Distillery has raised and invested over £30m since it was founded in 2011, including £1.7m from a Crowdcube fundraise in 2017.
