Darnley’s Gin Brands:
Darnley’s Original Gin
Inspired by the elderflower growing wild in the grounds of our family castle in Scotland, this award-winning, small batch London Dry Gin uses a distinctive blend of six botanicals, which are masterfully distilled in a time honoured style using the finest grain spirit.
Darnley’s Spiced Gin
Honouring the Wemyss family’s spirit of adventure, we wanted to explore a range of warming botanicals found as far afield as Africa, Morocco and China. We selected ten that would give the desired depth of flavour to create a contemporary gin that is full and rounded.
Darnley’s Spiced Gin: Navy Strength Edition
Our Navy Strength edition of our award-winning Spiced Gin was inspired by the Royal Navy career of our ancestor Sir Rosslyn Wemyss. During his time at sea, ships’ officers still enjoyed a daily ration of gin which had to pass a gunpowder test to prove it was over 57% alcohol and therefore Navy Strength. Using the same botanicals as Darnley’s Spiced Gin, we have added more juniper to our recipe and increased the proof to bring you a bold Navy Strength gin.Further information:
