Pennington’s Lakeland Moon Gin 42.1% ABV

Lakeland Moon Gin is a unique blend of wild juniper and 6 other botanicals, gathered from the Lakeland Fells under a full moon. Blended with water filtered through limestone beds from their own Lake District National Park spring, their master distiller uses traditional methods to create a truly English artisan gin with a balanced, classic taste. With a variety of carefully selected grapefruit, Spanish orange and lemon peel added to the distillation, this citrus forward gin is certain to uplift your tastebuds.

Lakeland Moon Gin is a traditionally distilled London Dry Gin keeping juniper at the fore of the aroma and flavour. This characterful aroma delivers a smooth taste, complemented by citrus notes which results in a spirit that can be enjoyed simply over ice or as a base for mixing with your favourite longer drink. Following guidance from the Old Farmers Almanac, Pennington’s harvest their Juniper berries under the Full Moon, when according to the Old Farmers Almanac, the fruit will have reached its maximum potential for flavour, aroma, vitamins and moisture.

Pennington’s Spirits & Liqueurs wasn’t the result of board room meetings or spreadsheets but rather conceived “by accident” after owning Burgundy’s Wine Bar in Kendal for over 30 years. On a quiet Winter’s evening in 1990, Mike had the idea to create his own products with as much provenance as the selection of wines and spirits from around the world behind the bar – he recalled the recipe for Kendal Mint Cake that he would make with his grandfather and set about creating Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur. He never dreamt that it would leave the confines of the bar and certainly not develop into a whole new business.

Since the first distillation in 2016, Lakeland Moon Gin has been awarded a variety of different awards including:
Silver – World Gin Awards 2020
Gold – World Gin Awards 2019
Bronze – International Spirits Challenge 2018
Silver – International Spirits Challenge 2017

Pennington’s recommend serving Lakeland Moon Gin with Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic or Fever Tree Premium Indian Tonic. Or for the true Gin connoisseur, simply serve over ice with a twist of orange peel.
