Herdwick Distillery expansion

Two New Gins and Artisan Cocktail’s Perfection in a Can

Following the success of Yan Gin launched last year, Herdwick Distillery has added two new gins to their range.

Marmalade Yan Gin and Berry Yan Gin unites two sides of Lakeland Artisan, Herdwick Distillery – the gin distillery side and Cumbrian Delights – the fruit preserves and marmalades.

Marmalade Yan Gin is based on Cumbrian Delights St Clements Marmalade, Yan Gin is infused with a hand-selected bouquet of over 10 botanicals, it has then been blended with their Marmalade Syrup to give a citrus punch.

Berry Yan Gin is crammed full of Cranberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Redcurrants and Blackcurrants giving it its deep berry colour and fruity flavour but still retaining its distinct gin taste.

Geoff Monkman said, “We are delighted with our award-winning Yan Gin and these new Gins are part of the planned development of Herdwick Distillery in Kendal.”
