Calling 250 Million ‘Downton Abbey’ Fans .... Wanna Piece?

Highclere Castle Gin is super premium and born from one of the most famous castles in the world: This luxury spirit brand was developed in partnership with Lady Fiona Carnarvon and George Herbert, the eighth Earl of Carnarvon (pictured below left), along with American global spirits entrepreneur Adam von Gootkin. The Carnarvons own Highclere Castle, recognized as the “real Downton Abbey”

Highclere Castle Gin is one of the fastest- growing gin brands in the world with 48 international awards garnered since launch in 2019. The gin is made with botanicals from the famous estate and distilled in England’s oldest gin distillery.

This modern gin is created from a blend of botanicals grown on the ancient estate, including vibrant oranges from the Victorian Orangery, offering a lush citrus-forward flavor profile. This exceptionally smooth London dry gin integrates 10 botanicals including Highclere’s famous oats added to the recipe to soften the finish, resulting in a gin you can drink straight on the rocks! This flavorful gin is distilled above an ancient underground water source in copper gin stills and produced in England’s oldest gin distillery dating back to the 1800s.

“By including flavors from around the property and designing a bottle that draws on Highclere Castle’s religious history and architectural design, we were able to create a gin that speaks to the heritage of the estate,” says Adam von Gootkin, CEO. “Highclere’s incredibly rich heritage, pedigree and reputation for entertainment, plus botanical ingredients have merged to create the finest gin that’s ever been made.”
