Lancaster Spirits Co will launch its first-ever cream liqueur this autumn, crafted using the distillery’s own single malt spirit. The English distillery will release just 1,000 bottles of the expression, each presented in a 50cl format at 17% ABV.

The liqueur combines the distillery’s signature single malt with a vegan cream base. The result is described as a velvety, full-bodied drink that showcases the depth of the underlying spirit without relying on dairy.

Each bottle will carry a recommended retail price of £25.00 ($33).

READ THE STORY

The liqueur is designed to sit alongside the distillery’s existing range, offering an entry point into the Lancaster Spirits Co story.

The release allows master blender Max McFarlane and distillery manager Craig Drake to explore creative territory beyond traditional whisky production. By pairing the distillery’s single malt with a balanced cream base, the team has created a product the brand describes as distinctly Lancaster Spirits Co in character.

Given the limited size of the first batch, the distillery expects early interest to be high.

Chris Pateman, commercial manager at Lancaster Spirits Co, said: “This is such a fun addition to our range. We wanted to create something that captures everything people love about our single malt, but in a completely different, more indulgent style.”

Pateman added: “Using a vegan cream was really important to us; we didn’t want anyone to miss out, and we’re really proud of how smooth and balanced the final liqueur is. Because we’re starting with such a small first batch, this feels like a genuinely special release for us and for our customers.”

The single malt cream liqueur will be available to purchase directly from the distillery from autumn 2026, with further details on stockists to be confirmed closer to launch.

Lancaster Spirits Co is an independent distillery based in Lancaster, England.

The company produces single malt spirit with a focus on craft, character, and transparency. The launch builds on the following earned by its core single malt range.

Cream liqueurs remain a significant global category, with Baileys, owned by Diageo, ranking as one of the world’s best-selling liqueur brands.
