**** PRESS RELEASE FROM LANCASTER SPIRITS CO. **** Lancaster Spirits Co. launches distillery tours
One of the UK’s most exciting new distilleries, Lancaster Spirits Co., has now launched bookable tours of its grain-to-glass distillery and newly built whisky distillery. Housed alongside the multi-award-winning Lancaster Brewery, The Lancaster Spirits Company is a grain-to-glass distillery, utilising decades of brewing know-how and painstaking distilling process, to produce premium quality, small-batch gins, vodkas and most recently, whisky. The team are now ready to open up the site to visitors keen to enjoy a “tasting journey” through the complexities of gin, vodka and whisky production. Unlike most, the distillery has taken the unusual and challenging approach to create its base grain spirit, by distilling from its own specially concocted beer made using a secret blend of wheat and rye grains, a two-hundred-year-old Lancastrian live yeast and water drawn from an artesian well. This “made not mixed” approach to its white spirits means that to produce a single drop of Lancaster Spirits Company product takes a minimum of five weeks of painstaking work. You are invited to join the distillery team for a behind-the-scenes look at Lancaster Spirits Co. and an immersive tour of the site and their newly commissioned whisky distillery. Experience the unique atmosphere of a working brewery and distillery, as one of the expert team personally guides you through the spirit-making process, beginning in the brewery, before discovering the delights of the Lancaster Spirits Co’s all-new Whisky Room. During the tour, you will learn about every aspect of the spirit-making process from milling, mashing, fermentation, distillation, and maturation. You’ll get to see the inner workings of the brewhouse, stillroom and distillery warehouse and will discover what makes the Lancaster Spirits Co. stand out from the crowd and a first look at the distillery’s exciting plans for their Single Malt Whisky. Tasting tours are run in groups of up to 12 people on selected dates and private tours can be booked by prior arrangement. Each tour lasts for around an hour and includes samples of Lancaster Spirits Co’s craft spirits - gin, vodka, new-make spirit, and a cask sample of their maturing single malt. Tour places are priced at £22 per adult, involve plenty of samples and are open to guests aged 18+ only. Tour gift vouchers are also available making for the perfect festive gift. Chris Pateman, Lancaster Spirits Co's Commercial Manager, said: "We are excited to be launching our distillery tours, which we’ve carefully designed to share an insight into some of the many tireless processes involved in crafting our award-winning spirits. We always wanted to be able to share what we do with the public, to give people the chance to taste our lovely range of spirits, share the scientific and creative process behind the products, as well as have the opportunity to reveal some of our exciting plans for the future at the same time.” To book a tour visit: https://lancasterspirits.co.uk/pages/contact Comments are closed.
