BLACK CAT DISTILLERY
We pride ourselves on being a producer of small batch, hand-crafted artisan gin combining complex flavours from a wide range of botanicals to create unique flavour profiles.
If you’re passionate about gin, then you’ll definitely want to hear about our small batch craft gin distillery in Penrith, Cumbria. Set amidst a historic location in the beautiful Brougham Hall, just outside Penrith, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, Black Cat Distillery has a unique location reflective of our unique British gin. Our talented artisans distil by hand in small batches to make craft gin using traditional gin making practices.

Our gin distillery welcomes visitors, and our Lake District gin is available to buy both in person from us directly and you can buy our gin online. In addition to being able to come and explore our distillery, we offer gin making experiences where you can learn more about our traditional methods, discover about how to make gin, and make your own gin to take away. We choose to make our craft gin in small amounts so that we can pay attention to every detail of the distilling process. Coupled with our philosophy to use only the finest botanicals, this attention to detail is what distinguishes us from large-scale producers and makes our exceptional gins really stand out.
From our very own spicy London dry gin to our fruit gin with florally notes, we have a fantastic, flavoured gin for every palate. We are endlessly inspired by the nature that surrounds us here in Cumbria and our flavour profiles reflect our love of fragrant ingredients and exciting combinations.
When we learnt about bootleggers selling gin from cleverly disguised decanters during the 1800s, the Black Cat symbol was adopted into our logo as we believe that small batch gin makers should be championed as the connoisseurs that they are. The care and attention we pour into our stills is tangible and we think you can taste our labour of love in every bottle of gin.
Whether you’re a gin expert or completely new to craft spirits, for a handmade British gin that has been carefully constructed in small batches, look no further than Black Cat gin.
