Castle Freke is the first true ‘sipping’ gin – a spirit of remarkable smoothness and layered
complexity, crafted not for mixing but for savouring in its purest form. Each sip reveals a
slowly unfolding flavour experience – from the initial burst across the palate to a resonant
finish that lingers.

Developed using a proprietary 50-step process and long maturation, this recipe has been
mastered over a decade of experimentation in the pursuit of perfection. Castle Freke Gin
is distilled in very small batches with rare organic and wild-gathered botanicals sourced
from across the world, including Macedonian and Tuscan juniper, Nile Delta coriander,
myrtle from the Castle demesne, and six rare citrus fruits from the celebrated Pyrenean
orchards of Agrumes Schaller - the world renowned supplier to the finest Michelin star
restaurants.

Created by Stephen Evans-Freke at Castle Freke, the ancestral seat of his family as
Lords of Carbery, who have endured on Ireland’s Atlantic edge for more than 400 years.
Shaped by wind, sea, and time, this historic place is no mere backdrop – it informs
everything, from the obsessive care behind the gin’s making to the elemental
character of its taste palette.

The bottle reflects this deep connection to place and legacy. A single wind-bent tree
climbs the glass – the tree that stands before the Castle – a symbol of familial resilience
and rootedness. The stopper bears iconic motifs drawn from the Castle’s own interiors –
quiet symbols of eternity, harmony and sacred proportion.

Above all, Castle Freke Gin offers a still point in a turning world – a rare moment of calm
among the chaos. Like the all-seeing eye at the heart of the mythic ceiling above the
Castle’s ballroom, it invites reflection. To sip it is to pause and realign one’s spirit.

Castle Freke Gin is crafted for the mindful few who sip with intent.

A spirit not of fashion, but of philosophy.
