Made using only natural ingredients, Darnley’s Gin contains the best botanicals, the freshest Scottish water and pure spirit. They believe that by respecting the ingredients gifted by nature, and not using colours, sweeteners or artificial flavourings, they can create gin that brings a nuanced and authentic taste.
Darnley's is the sister distillery to Kingsbarns Distillery. The Wemyss family owns and operates Kingsbarns, situated in Fife in the Scottish Lowlands near St Andrews, and holds a heritage in the whisky industry dating back to the turn of the 19th Century.
Situated next door to the whisky distillery, Darnley's Gin is produced in a derelict farm cottage. In the gardens surrounding Darnley’s Gin Cottage, they cultivate as many botanicals as the Scottish weather permits. However, sourcing more exotic ingredients like cinnamon and grains of paradise requires warmer climates, so the distillery obtains them from trusted growers around the world. Darnley's continue to grow, forage and source in their endless botanical exploration.
Darnley's Spiced is a contemporary gin which is full and rounded. It uses 10 botanicals including cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and ginger to create a warming character with woody sweet spice.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Orange, pine needles, rosemary, cinnamon, coriander, peppercorns and clove.
Taste - Mixed spices, ginger, freshly ground pepper followed by a hint of orange zest.
Finish - Coriander, nutmeg, sage, and a dry lingering peppery finish.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
