Award-winning gin distillery to open new shop in Morecambe

Posted on in Business News

A family-run gin company is set to open a new distillery and shop in Morecambe.

Three Wheel Gin

The Three Wheel Gin Company will be opening at Lancaster Road in Torrisholme in mid-October, distilling and selling their own gin on the premises.

The Three Wheel Gin Company is a small family owned and operated micro distillery, making hand crafted gins and other products. It is run by couple Catherine and Peter Leonard, and Catherine's dad Colin Scott.

They sell Morecambe and Lancaster-themed products, including gin and vodka, as well as Limoncello and Orangecello liqueurs.

The company's website says:

"The business was born one evening after being out together - Catherine, her husband Peter and Catherine's dad Colin (and Seb the distillery dog!) and a discussion we had about where we live, our love for classic British comedy in particular Only Fools and Horses and a good quality G&T! 

"And so, the seeds were planted for the formation of our company which was born in September 2019 after an awful lot of planning and paperwork.

"We currently hold two silver awards from the Spirit Business Gin Masters Awards, Great Taste Awards and an Award from The Gin Guide."

The team plans to hold occasional tasting evenings upstairs, and sell other products too, including cheeses, crackers, chutneys, craft ales and wines.
