In keeping with Highclere Castles grand tradition of entertaining the most prestigious of guests, we would like to invite you to taste the worlds finest Estate Gin. Highclere Castle symbolises a legacy of elegance, hard work, passion & a reputation for perfection & Highclere Castle Gin was designed to reflect this ethos & to celebrate the beauty of a by gone era, where elegance reigned supreme. Distilled above an ancient underground water source, Highclere Castle Gin is produced in Englands oldest gin distillery in one of the oldest working copper gin stills dating back to the 1800's. The recipe was meticulously developed over two years, experimenting with botanicals grown on the Highclere estate. The Botanicals in Highclere Castle Gin are influenced by the garden. The taste & style begin with the juniper at the heart of the gin, to which is added the touch of lavender inspired by the borders in the Monks Garden, followed by lime flower & orange peel. As an unusual but delicious twist, Highcleres acclaimed estate grown oats have been woven into the botanical blend to give an exceptionally creamy palate as a long & memorable finish. These oats are grown on the high chalk downlands of the Highclere farm.
