Highclere Castle Gin is the official premium gin of the Newbury Racecourse. This partnership speaks to the heritage and history of Highclere Castle.

From Downton Abbey to Award-Winning Gin: The Story of Highclere Castle Gin Sometimes, the best business partnerships start in the most unexpected ways. For Adam von Gootkin, founder of Onyx Spirits Co., inspiration struck while watching a documentary about Highclere Castle—the real-life estate behind Downton Abbey. Seeing the entrepreneurial spirit in Lord and Lady Carnarvon, he reached out through a simple contact form, and the rest is history. What followed was a transatlantic partnership that led to the creation of Highclere Castle Gin, now one of the most awarded premium gins in the world. Crafted from botanicals grown on the estate, including lavender from the Monk’s Garden and oats renowned for their quality, this citrus-forward London dry gin is deeply tied to its heritage. Von Gootkin and the Carnarvons built something special—a brand rooted in history, hospitality, and craftsmanship. From perfecting the gin’s smooth, velvety profile to hitting the road for hands-on promotion, their collaboration has flourished into a $50M business. A reminder that great ideas come from curiosity, bold action, and genuine connections. Cheers to that! #SpiritsIndustry #GinLovers #Entrepreneurship #awardwinning #gin #spirits #HighclereCastle #HighclereCastleGin

A Toast to a Legendary Reign: The Queen’s Jubilee Cocktail! Queen Elizabeth II’s reign spanned 70 years, making her the longest-serving British monarch in history. To commemorate the 73rd anniversary of her ascension to the throne, Adam von Gootkin, CEO of Highclere Castle Gin, is revisiting a special cocktail he crafted in her honor: The Queen’s Jubilee. A refined take on the late Queen’s favorite drink—Dubonnet and gin—this cocktail combines history, tradition, and a splash of modern elegance. Recipe for the Queen’s Jubilee Cocktail: ✨ 1.5 oz. Highclere Castle Gin ✨ 1.5 oz. Dubonnet Rouge ✨ Splash of champagne ✨ Orange twist garnish Directions: Stir the gin and Dubonnet with ice, strain into a coupe, top with champagne, and finish with an orange twist. A drink fit for royalty, yet simple enough to enjoy at home. Von Gootkin, whose Highclere Castle Gin is crafted with botanicals from the historic estate known as the real Downton Abbey, wanted to pay homage to the Queen in the best way he knew how—through the art of fine spirits. As Dubonnet and gin enjoyed popularity in the ‘50s and ‘60s, could this classic blend be making a comeback? 🍹 Would you give it a try? Let’s raise a glass to history! #QueenElizabethII #CocktailCulture #GinLovers #HighclereCastleGin #RoyalTradition

"Terroir: It’s often celebrated in the world of wine, but what about spirits?" At Highclere Castle Gin, terroir is the soul of our award-winning spirit. It’s the land, the botanicals, and the story that make each sip unique. The Land: Highclere Castle’s centuries-old estate provides fertile soil for the lavender, citrus, and oats that give our gin its distinctive character. The Botanicals: Grown on the very grounds of the castle, these ingredients are a true reflection of the estate's heritage and terroir. The Story: Inspired by tradition, craftsmanship, and the elegance of Highclere Castle, every bottle tells a tale of history and place. Terroir isn’t just for wine. It’s what sets spirits apart—connecting the drinker to the land, the people, and the story behind the craft. How important is terroir to you when choosing a spirit? Have you experienced a gin that speaks of place as powerfully as wine does? #SpiritsIndustry #Gin #Terroir #CraftGin #HighclereCastleGin #StoryInEverySip

With hundreds of gins on the market, how do you tell one bottle from the next? As consumers, we're spoiled for choice: classic London dry gins, vibrant botanical blends, and even experimental infusions like seaweed or hibiscus. But with so many options, the challenge for brands is clear—differentiation. Some key ways distilleries stand out: Unique Botanicals: Local, rare, or story-driven ingredients add depth and intrigue. Sense of Place: "Terroir" isn't just for wine; gins can tell a regional story. Brand Story & Design: Packaging, heritage, or sustainability can resonate deeply. 🥃 Innovative Tastes: Cask-aged, flavored gins, or unusual infusions expand what gin "can be." But differentiation isn’t just about ingredients or branding—it's about connecting to the drinker. A great gin becomes more than a spirit; it becomes an experience. Join Adam von Gootkin, Co-founder & CEO of Highclere Castle Gin, on an educational journey into the art and tradition of London Dry Gin. Discover what makes this iconic style a cornerstone of the gin category and why it continues to inspire distillers worldwide. How do you choose your go-to gin?
