Following the success of Yan Gin launched last year, Herdwick Distillery has added two new gins to their range.  Marmalade Yan Gin and Berry Yan Gin unites two sides of Lakeland Artisan, Herdwick Distillery – the gin distillery side and Cumbrian Delights – the fruit preserves and marmalades.

Marmalade Yan Gin is based on Cumbrian Delights St Clements Marmalade, Yan Gin is infused with a hand-selected bouquet of over 10 botanicals, it has then been blended with their Marmalade Syrup to give a citrus punch.

Berry Yan Gin is crammed full of Cranberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Redcurrants and Blackcurrants giving it its deep berry colour and fruity flavour but still retaining its distinct gin taste.

Geoff Monkman said, “We are delighted with our award-winning Yan Gin and these new Gins are part of the planned development of Herdwick Distillery in Kendal.”

Artisan Cocktail’s perfection in a can

The makers behind Yan Gin, Herdwick Distillery have also extended their range and tapped into the rising demand for pre-mixed cocktails with the perfect serve in a can.  The new conveniently packaged cocktails represent the latest evolution of Lakeland Artisan by Geoff and Mary Monkman.

Made with only natural ingredients, the line-up consists of four ready to serve cans, Yan Gin with Fell Tonic, Rhubarb & Ginger Yan Gin with Ginger Beer, Berry Yan Gin with Pink Lemonade and Marmalade Yan Gin with Lemonade.

This new range unites two sides of Lakeland Artisan; Herdwick Distillery – the gin distillery side and Mawson’s – the range of traditional soft drinks, both of which are lovingly made on-site by the Lakeland Artisan team in Kendal, Cumbria.

The new drinks packaged in 250ml lightweight aluminium cans which chill quickly, are crushable and infinitely recyclable, have impacted less on carbon footprint.

Perfect for enjoying at home, at parties, on the fell and ideal for a picnic! With 100% Natural ingredients and an ABV of 6.3%, made with gins from the Herdwick Distillery range which launched in 2021.

Mary Monkman said, “We know our customers love our Yan Gin and Fell Tonic, so it was only a matter of time before we made a ready to drink version for those on the go.”

All new products are available from Mid-March in local shops and wholesale.

All Lakeland Artisan brands and evolving products, whether from Mawson’s soft drinks, Herdwick Distillery, Cumbria Delights or Lakeland Hampers, are based on a combination of traditional craft, innovative research, responsible sustainability, and strong customer feedback. They are lovingly made by locals on the outskirts of Kendal.
