Highclere Castle Gin Launches in Canada

Highclere Castle Gin, recognized globally as the most awarded super-premium gin, has officially launched in Canada through a strategic partnership with the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO). This significant move will make the gin accessible at 120 locations across Ontario, marking an important milestone as it broadens its international footprint. Supported by Kinetic Brands, the distilling excellence of Highclere Castle reflects both tradition and innovation in the spirits market.

The timing of this launch is crucial, as the Canadian spirits market experiences shifts due to recent U.S. tariffs, leading to an increased demand for distinguished international offerings. Highclere Castle Gin enters this simulated environment as an elegant British alternative, catering to the refined tastes of Canadian consumers who value craftsmanship and authenticity. In addition to its availability at LCBO, the gin will also be featured at Fairmont Le Château Frontenac in Quebec, offering an additional prestigious location for its enjoyment.

Established by Adam von Gootkin and the 8th Earl and Countess of Carnarvon, the custodians of Highclere Castle, this gin is distilled at England's oldest gin distillery. It is uniquely crafted with botanicals, including lavender, citrus, and oats sourced from the castle grounds themselves. Highclere Castle Gin is renowned for its exceptional quality, having won over 200 international awards for excellence and balance.

Adam von Gootkin, the Founder and CEO, expressed excitement about the launch, stating, “Canada spoke and we listened. The LCBO stands as a retail leader on the global stage, and Canadian consumers deserve a gin that embodies both tradition and innovation. This partnership symbolizes a meeting of legends and a toast to new traditions.”

Moreover, Highclere Castle, famous as the filming location for the beloved series Downton Abbey, draws approximately 135,000 visitors annually. It serves as a symbol of over a millennium of British heritage and cultural significance. Lady Carnarvon shared her joy regarding the launch: “We are absolutely delighted that Highclere Castle Gin is now available throughout Ontario. Our family is deeply honored to share a taste of Highclere Castle with Canada, continuing the historic bonds first forged within our home's walls, where the dreams of the Dominion of Canada were shaped.”

Currently, Highclere Castle Gin is already enjoyed across 32 U.S. states and nine international markets, showcasing its widespread appeal and commitment to quality. As it continues its journey, it brings a piece of British tradition and sophistication to Canadian shelves.
