Despite his ongoing battle with cancer, King Charles remains committed to offering the public a taste of royal luxury.
Royal enthusiasts now have the opportunity to indulge in a unique experience with the introduction of a gin infused with botanicals sourced from King Charles’ gardens.
Crafted by the Royal Collection Trust, The Palace of Holyroodhouse Dry Gin features mint and lemon thyme harvested from the monarch’s Scottish residence's Physic Garden.
The botanicals undergo a meticulous 24-hour steeping process before being distilled and combined with juniper to produce a gin characterized by citrus notes and a rich flavor profile.
What sets this gin apart is its connection to the historic Physic Garden, which reopened in 2020. This garden has long served as a hub for cultivating medicinal and culinary botanicals.
Established in 1670 by Scottish physicians Sir Robert Sibbald and Sir Andrew Balfour, the garden played a vital role in educating students about the benefits of various plants.
Furthermore, the packaging of the gin pays homage to its Scottish heritage, featuring floral designs inspired by 17th-century textiles.
This offering provides royal enthusiasts with a unique opportunity to savor a piece of history while enjoying a beverage steeped in tradition and elegance.
