Highclere Castle Gin is the liquification of Highclere’s commitment to agriculture and to honor its uniquely British traditions. The botanicals used in the gin are harvested from Highclere Castle’s ancient estate. The gin recipe was crafted over the course of four years by spirits entrepreneur Adam von Gootkin together with the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, the owners and stewards of Highclere Castle. This very special partnership makes Highclere Castle Gin a uniquely Anglo-American product merging British pedigree and style with American innovation and drive for perfection.
Experience history with Highclere Castle Gin botanicals. Crafted with 10 botanicals sourced from Highclere Castle’s ancient estate. This unique gin features tasting notes of citrus along with lavender grown in the monks’ garden planted in the 9th century by the Bishop of Winchester. The acclaimed estate Highclere oats are woven into the recipe, creating a gin of unparallel complexity and flavor. Records from the 13th century testify that oats have been grown at Highclere and today remain a key element of the landscape for food, to add to their gin and as part of conservation and diversity.
