The story
Langtons (Langtons of Skiddaw / Langton's Gin) was created by two local founders, Tim Moor and Nick Dymoke‑Marr, and the product was launched at the end of 2012. The brand concept revolves around the Lake District (Cumbria) and the use of water drawn from an aquifer beneath Skiddaw. Production is outsourced to specialised facilities (including G&J Distillers / Greenall's for distillation) and the gin has been distributed in several international markets.
