An absolute cracker from The Lakes Distillery, with a very grown-up prize. Ditch the terrible jokes, disintegrating paper hats, lame prizes, gaudy colours and feeble bangs this Christmas, this tastefully designed cracker simply contains a 5cl miniature of The Lakes Pink Grapefruit Gin. What we love most about The Lakes Distillery Crackers, is that each one tells you what’s inside, so everybody gets what they want – no need to be trading spinning tops for hair clips, or mini screwdriver sets for whatever those curly plastic fish things are. What’s more, the tangy Pink Grapefruit Gin, which buzzes with juniper and lip-smacking pink grapefruit, is perfect for a Boxing Day G&T. Amidst the tranquil beauty of Cumbria’s rolling greenery, dramatic fells and sparkling water resides an old Victorian cattle farm that has been converted into a world-class spirits producer. Situated on the shore of Bassenthwaite Lake – the only official lake in the Lake District National Park because the others are technically meres or waters) – The Lakes Distillery has been highlighted as one of the top five new distilleries in the world by Time Out USA and one of the “eight distilleries to visit before you die” by World Whisky Day. The quality emanating from this high tech, state of the art distillery should come as no surprise because one of the founders also set up Isle of Arran Distillers, the head spirit maker Dhavall Gandhi cut his teeth at Macallan, and everybody who works in the distillery has a technical degree in distilling. Spirit lovers need to keep a careful eye on The Lakes Distillery because it’s on course to become an ultimate and highly collectable luxury global brand. This is a decorative item, not designed for pulling (you don’t want to break the bottle inside) and does not pop.
