Highclere Castle Gin, loved for its classically juniper-forward flavor profile, is now accessible throughout Connecticut thanks to this collaboration. In a recent announcement via LinkedIn, the company expressed its excitement about this development, inviting residents to toast this new opportunity.

“We are thrilled to announce that the award-winning Highclere Castle Gin is now available across the state of Connecticut, thanks to our partnership with Connecticut Distributors,” the brand wrote.

“Join us in raising a glass to this new chapter and the opportunity to enjoy the world’s best gin right here in Connecticut. Cheers to unforgettable moments and the timeless taste of Highclere Castle Gin!”

Highclere Castle Gin is produced by the Highclere Estate, which is currently owned by Lord Carnarvon, the godson of Queen Elizabeth II. The castle is known as the “real Downton Abbey,” as the Emmy award-winning TV series was filmed there. The gin was first released in 2019 following two years of development led by Lord and Lady Carnarvon. Inspired by and using botanicals grown on the Highclere Estate, the London dry features tasting notes from juniper, lavender, oranges, lime flower and Highclere’s acclaimed estate-grown oats.

In November 2022, Highclere Castle released a limited edition barrel-aged gin in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
