AN AWARD-WINNING South Lakeland brewery has launched a new range of locally-made spirits.

The collection, distilled at Hawkshead Brewery, has been aged in barrels that previously held ale and porter - adding a 'distinctive and unique' flavour.

Andrew Turner, head of sales at the company, said: “All four spirits in the range have a really unique and characterful finish, and are a perfect tribute to the brewery and the local area.

"We’ve had a lot of fun experimenting with a variety of different combinations of beer, casks and base spirits, and are really happy with the final result.

"We’re really looking forward to introducing the collection to Hawkshead Brewery fans, we hope they like them as much as we do."

The collection features a gin, a rum, a vodka and a whisky.
