Highclere Castle Gin is proud to announce a partnership with The Queen's Commonwealth Trust (QCT), appointing QCT as their official charity partner.  Highclere Castle Gin will work in tandem with QCT to support young leaders throughout the Commonwealth with flexible funding, practical tools and support, and a vibrant network to help them transform their communities. 

To honor the Platinum Jubilee year, and to kickstart this campaign, Highclere Castle Gin will donate a portion of bottle proceeds sold globally during the month of August to QCT.  QCT aims for a world where youth-led projects receive increased support and investment, putting young leaders at the center of decision making so that they can affect positive change for themselves, and their wider communities. 

Highclere Castle Gin launched in 2019 and quickly spread throughout the US, UK and Europe, with e-commerce serving 40 US states and 27 EU countries. The brand is featured in many of the world's most exclusive restaurants and hotels and has garnered 68 international awards for flavor & design, with multiple 96+ score ratings. QCT was launched in 2018 with Her Majesty The Queen's patronage and has successfully funded projects in over 31 countries. 

Highclere Castle Spirits, an Anglo-American company with roots from the globally recognized Highclere Castle, was formed in partnership with the Earl & Countess of Carnarvon – global tastemakers and NY Times bestsellers who own and live in the castle – along with American spirits entrepreneur, Adam von Gootkin, whose family history in distilling spirits goes back to the 1800s. Highclere Castle is one of the most famous British country homes, serving as the site of the Emmy Award winning television series, and motion pictures, "Downton Abbey".

"We have been looking for the right charity partner and QCT has a powerful vision, along with prudent financial management and a great team. Both Highclere Castle and Highclere Castle Gin support many charities in the UK & the US, and QCT fits squarely with our mission of positivity.  I am particularly excited to offer support to young, budding entrepreneurs, who very much are the reality coders of tomorrow," said Adam von Gootkin, Co-Founder and CEO of Highclere Castle Spirits.

Highclere Castle Spirits and QCT will be partnering on events in London and New York City in the months ahead to bring awareness to this special cause and contribute wherever possible to this very special mission.
