Pennington’s Distillery is a proudly family-run, craft distillery based in Kendal at the gateway to the Lake District National Park. Celebrated for producing a unique range of small-batch spirits, flavourful liqueurs and artisan gins inspired by the stunning Lake District landscape. Founded by Mike Pennington — whose original Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur was first crafted behind the bar of his Kendal wine bar in 1990 — the distillery has grown into a beloved destination for locals, visitors and spirits enthusiasts alike.
Pennington’s range features their signature Lakeland Moon collection of gins, rums, vodkas and seasonal liqueurs, using locally foraged botanicals and fruits from the Lake District fells to create complex, memorable flavours that capture the essence of Cumbria. Award-winning favourites such as Kendal Mint Cake Liqueur, Lakeland Moon Gin and Windermere Toffee Vodka delight both cocktail lovers and those seeking a truly local tipple.
Visitors to the distillery can enjoy engaging tours and tastings, meet the family behind the brand, explore the production process from still to sip, and shop the full range in-house. Whether you’re looking for a special gift, wedding favours, or a taste of true Lake District craft, Pennington’s offers an unforgettable experience steeped in heritage and spirit-making passion.
