Vineyard Notes: Vineyard: Strawberry Bank
Mike and Helen Walsh established Strawberry Bank Liqueurs at The Masons Arms, the pub they owned on Cartmel Fell, in 2001. That was the year of the foot and mouth epidemic and had a devastating efecton country life. In particular, so many footpaths were closed to walkers that the pub was very quiet. As damsons were a local speciality (indeed, damson beer used to be made on the premises) the couple started to produce damson gin to give them extra income. The damson gin, produced from the juice of local Damsons grow in the Lyth valley, prove so popular that they decided to sell the Masons Arms and concentrate on the production of liqueurs with a view to increase the range. In 2002 they moved production to a purpose built food unit at Plumgarth Food Park just outside Kendal. Here they increased the range to five, Damson Gin, Sloe Gin, Blackberry Gin, Strawberry Vodka and Blackberry Liqueur (whiskey base).
