The Lakes Gin

Of course, the signature gin from our local distillery had to make the list; but not just for its close proximity to ourselves, but because The Lakes Gin is one of the finest gins you’ll ever taste.

If you’re looking for a refreshing gin with an edge, The Lakes Gin is a classic English gin with vibrant notes of juniper, cracked black pepper and orange peel.

The gin is gently distilled over time to provide a remarkably smooth texture that’s a delight to consume. Experience the distilling process first hand with complimentary tours & tastings for all Inn on the Square residents.

Monkey 47

Despite its name, there’s no monkeying around with this gin when it comes to exceptional flavor. Developed with an impressive 47 botanicals, most of which are derived from the Black Forest of Germany, the ingredients of Monkey 47 are not what you would expect in a typical dry gin.

The secret ingredient of this gin is lingonberries that give the gin its unique flavor. Expect an expert blend of powerful spice, fruit and herb flavours.

Since there is no other gin that tastes quite like it on our menu, the ingenious concoction had to make our top 10 gins.

Buss No.509 Persian Peach

When it comes to flavoured gins, there seems to be an abundance of tart, fruit flavours out there, and a lack of variety when it comes to more subtle flavours.

For this reason, this peach flavoured gin stands out in the fruit, flavoured gin market, firmly cementing its place in our top 10 gins.

Known for its subtly sweet flavor, the peach notes are delicately balanced with juniper, coriander, iris root, vanilla plus more.

Buss No.509 Peach is served with your choice of tonic and orange.

Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

You can’t go wrong with a gin where you’re (sort of) drinking green tea, right?! Despite its Irish origin, the ‘gunpowder’ the gin’s name refers to is actually Chinese gunpowder green tea.

However, if green tea is not your thing, don’t be put off as this is only one of many botanicals put into Drumshanbo. The inventive recipe also includes lime, lemon & grapefruit to offer an invigorating oriental-inspired taste.

Drumshanbo is served with your choice of tonic and gunpowder tea.
