Soleado

The Lakes Distillery

£100

Regular road trips through rustic rural Andalucia, nature's beauty intensified by an irrepressible sun in vivd, cobalt blue skies. Travelling through the bright and luscious aroma-rich valleys of vibrant orange groves, where the luscious, fresh tang of Seville mermelada is ever-present in the air, sparked a moment of intrigue. The instant where Soleado was born. Lively and bright, floral and deliciously fruity, Soleado bursts with sun-kissed orange and rich honeydew, awakening a fragrant backdrop of freshly cut flowers that dissolves into creamy porridge with a scattering of almonds and a driz

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as THE LAKES DISTILLERY COMPANY LIMITED, number 07769363. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Our head office employs staff in finance, marketing, HR, and IT, amongst other roles." — names a location but no site or process, so this corroborates uk_hq more than operations. Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
