What is Highclere Castle Gin?
Highclere Castle Gin is a spirit that carries the legacy of the real-life setting of Downton Abbey, blending botanicals grown on the estate's grounds for centuries. Interestingly, the gin's recipe includes oats, an unusual botanical that pays homage to the estate's history of growing award-winning oats and adds a unique smoothness to the spirit.
Why do we love Highclere Castle Gin?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Highclere Castle Gin for its unique terroir-driven profile, featuring lavender grown on the castle grounds and oats historically cultivated on the estate. This gin offers a taste of English heritage, with botanicals like juniper, lime flower, and orange peel that complement the limestone-filtered water drawn from the estate's ancient well, creating a smooth and distinctive spirit.
How do you drink Highclere Castle Gin?
Highclere Castle Gin shines in classic gin cocktails, where its delicate botanicals can take center stage, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic and a twist of citrus. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm summer evenings on the patio, pairing beautifully with light, herb-forward dishes or seafood, though its smooth character makes it a welcome addition to your bar year-round.

Nose: Juniper forward with bright citrus notes. Lavender and lime peel provide a floral lift. Underlying hints of oats and almonds add depth.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. Juniper remains prominent, complemented by orange zest and lemon. Subtle earthy notes of angelica root and cardamom emerge. The estate-grown oats contribute a silky mouthfeel.
Finish: Long and warming. Peppery notes from grains of paradise linger alongside a gentle sweetness reminiscent of licorice. The juniper and citrus slowly fade, leaving a clean, crisp finish.
Highclere Castle Gin is crafted using botanicals grown on the estate's grounds, including juniper, lime flower, orange peel, and lavender. The gin is distilled in England's oldest gin distillery using a unique blend of Highclere's oats, which adds a distinctively smooth and creamy texture to the spirit.
