From grain to glass

Our entire whisky-making process is considered and meticulously planned with a special focus on ensuring that we have a positive impact on the environment around us.

First of all, our skilled brewing team at Lancaster Brewery, start by sourcing the three key ingredients for beer & whisky production - water, malted barley and yeast.

Every drop of our spirits and beer made on site is done so using water drawn from our very own water source - The Bowland Well. An artesian aquifer that pulls fresh spring water directly from the ground below us.

We source our malted barley from our supplier, Crisp Maltings, and every grain is traceable to the field it was grown in. Our Brewery team use Winter Barley & Pale Ale Malt grown by farmers throughout the North of England, helping to minimise the food miles of our production process.

We nurture our very own strain of live brewing yeast and it gives our beers & wash for our Single Malt an incredible depth of flavour & character from the very beginning. This reduces our need to use a mass-produced yeast.
