A Toast to Legacy and Tradition
Highclere Castle, known globally as the real Downton Abbey, has been a cornerstone of English history for over a thousand years.
Today, it continues to embody grace and tradition not only through its storied walls but also through a gin that captures its spirit in every drop.
“It’s an extraordinary moment to celebrate the legacy of Downton Abbey, which brought global attention to Highclere’s beauty and traditions,”
Lord Carnarvon
“This gin is a tribute to that heritage, crafted with ingredients from our gardens and representing the very best of British elegance.”
Highclere Castle Gin uses estate-grown botanicals like lavender, orange peel, and oats, paired with ancient spring water, to create a silky, refined finish. With over 200 international awards, it holds the title of the most awarded premium gin in the world.
The Perfect Companion for a Viewing Party
For those planning a finale watch party, Highclere Castle Gin offers more than just a drink — it provides an immersive experience. From martinis and gin & tonics to royal punches fit for a Crawley-inspired gathering, it sets the tone for a night of glamour and nostalgia.
“Highclere Castle is not just a place,”
Lady Carnarvon
“It’s a feeling of tradition and celebration. Highclere Castle Gin allows that feeling to be shared anywhere in the world.”
Fans can craft cocktails that transport them to the grand halls of Highclere itself, turning a simple viewing into an event worthy of the series’ grandeur. For recipes and pairing ideas, visit HighclereCastleGin.com.
A New Chapter: Peach Rose Gin
Later this year, Highclere Castle Gin will launch its first brand extension: Peach Rose Gin. Inspired by quintessential English garden parties, this blend marries the delicate Lady Carnarvon Rose with sun-ripened Italian peaches and estate honey. The result is a spirit layered with floral and fruity notes, built upon the original botanical recipe.
“For us, this brand was about more than creating the world’s best tasting gin—it was about storytelling,” said Adam von Gootkin, Co-Founder & CEO. “Highclere Castle has inspired generations, and we wanted every sip to feel like a transportive experience. With Downton Abbey’s final chapter, it’s the perfect time to pour a cocktail and celebrate the grandeur of the era.”
