CASTLE GATE SPIRITS

Castle Gate Spirits take their inspiration from the history of Castle Gate and embrace the unique spirit of Nottingham and its people,
including the shire’s famous Robin Hood characters.
These premium, craft spirits created by the team here at Weavers are distilled from the finest botanicals,
including acorns foraged in Sherwood Forest and the shires of Central England.

All acorns are sustainably sourced and with permission.

Award Winning Gin inspired by Sherwood Forest

Castle Gate Classic Dry

This classic dry gin has subtle fruit notes with a hint of nuttiness making a brilliant classic G&T. Back in 1844, No. 1 Castle Gate was the site of one of the liveliest bars in Nottingham. Today, No. 1 is home to Weavers of Nottingham.

Castle Gate Pink Strawberry & Lavender

This gin has been infused with strawberries and lavender to create a beautiful fruit-driven and fragrant pink gin, it embraces the Weavers’ family nostalgia of strawberry picking as children. This marriage with light touches of lavender is a winning combination, especially on a hot summers day!

Making the Perfect G&T

Classic Dry

For our classic dry we recommend either a natural Indian tonic water or Mediterranean tonic with a grapefruit or orange garnish.

Perfect Pink

Our Strawberry and Lavender gin works wonderfully with an elderflower tonic and a fresh mint garnish.

Making the Recipe

The whole team at Weavers are involved in the creation of the spirits so the range truly represents the place where it all started. Here is Mary with the still, enjoying the recipe coming together. The acorns give off a lovely nutty aroma.

Foraging

All good gins starts with a good forage! Mary and family love foraging for these little beauties which are then dried, peeled and ground before being added to the copper pot still for distillation.
