Darnley's Gin

3.6

From the Wemyss family, who also own Kingsbarns whisky distillery in the East Neuk of Fife. Darnley's takes its name from Lord Darnley (husband of Mary Queen of Scots) and the estate's connection to the Stuart court. The gin is more restrained than many Scottish contemporaries — elderflower and citrus rather than heavy botanicals — making it a good alternative for drinkers who find gins like Rock Rose or The Botanist too complex.

Tasting notes

Clean and elegant, elderflower-forward with a crisp juniper base. Lighter than most Scottish gins — designed for subtlety rather than statement.

Perfect serve

Premium Indian tonic, slice of green apple.
