The Lakes Distillery
Trading as THE LAKES DISTILLERY COMPANY LIMITED, registered at Companies House number 07769363.
What we have checked
Every brand here has to clear one test before it is listed at all: the company is a UK legal entity with real activity here. That is a question about the business, and it is deliberately not the same question as where any individual product is made.
- uk registered entity: Companies House record resolves, status active. Number published by the company at https://lakesdistillery.com. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk hq: Registered office is a UK address: Asticus Building, London, SW1H 0AD. This is the registered office, which is not necessarily where the company operates. Source, checked 2026-08-29.
- uk site: Stated by the company: "Our head office employs staff in finance, marketing, HR, and IT, amongst other roles." — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. Source, checked 2026-09-01.
- uk employment: Stated by the company: "The whiskymaking team is led by our whiskymaker, who is at the helm of the spirit's journey throughout the distillery. Our artistic approach to flavour creation, from single malts and blended whiskies, to our range of gins and vodkas, ensures a unique collection of exceptional spirits." Source, checked 2026-09-01.
- uk control: No majority shareholding traced outside the UK; controlled by Mr Eric Niels Heerema. Source, checked 2026-09-01.
We have only checked company registration so far. Evidence of UK employment or a UK site is the next thing we intend to gather, and until we have it we say so on every product rather than implying it.
What they make
3 products listed. 1 state UK manufacture. 2 don't say where they are made, so neither do we.
