From the fells and lakes of the north to the industrial areas around Manchester and Liverpool, gin is making its mark. Drinking it and crafting it has captured the imagination from Merseyside to Manchester and across Lancashire, Cumbria and Cheshire. Taking strength from its industrial heritage, maritime trade, glorious countryside and rich history, some of the finest gins in the country have been created in the North West of England. ‘Gins of the North West’ tells the stories of a hundred of these passionately-crafted spirits, where the industry has come from and where it’s going.
