LAKE DISTRICT TO GET A WHISKY DISTILLERY. THE FIRST IN OVER 100 YEARS

The first distillery to be built in the Lake District in more than a century will start production after receiving a grant of £ 250,000. Britain’s Energy Coast (BEC) awarded the funds through its “Investing in Business” grant enabling the distillery to unlock a further £ 2million in investment. Plans for the distillery were unveiled last year.
