The Lakes Distillery has secured funding to help it seek out overseas markets.
The Newcastle-headquartered company set up England’s largest whisky, gin and vodka distillery eight years ago, producing spirits on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake in Cumbria. Alongside the production of the Lake District spirits, the firm also welcomes thousands of tourists each year to its visitor centre, shop and bistro.
Now corporate finance company WilliamsAli has secured the undisclosed funding from specialist lender Beechbrook Capital, at a time when the company is increasing its production of single malt whisky and exporting the brand to major whisky markets such as USA, France, and Japan.
