Levin Down Goodwood Gin
Handcrafted from a meticulously curated blend of locally grown botanicals, distilled with mineral water filtered through the very chalk Downs that surround the estate.
From this untamed terrain we have created an irrepressibly bold and irresistibly elegant gin.
Too steep for the plough and abundant in natural English Juniper, Levin Down, derived from ‘Leave-Alone-Hill’, is an ancient hill on the Goodwood Estate. It was here that the Charlton Hunt earned fame, drawing the nobility and gentry of the 18th century to Goodwood. Among them the third Duke of Devonshire, who galloped his horse down Levin Down at so fierce a pace he flew over a five-barred gate at the bottom – and in that daring feat introduced fence jumping to the hunt.
-
Juniper
Berries from this plant that thrives on the chalky lowlands of the estate form the backbone of every gin.
-
Wild Gorse Flower
This locally grown flower lends a tantalising hint of warm toasted coconut and vanilla.
-
Coriander
The dry fruits are used for their delectable, spicy, lemon flavours and help to keep the gin beautifully dry.
-
Mint
A perennial plant native to England, the leaves lend a delightful freshness to the spirit.
With a character shaped by wild-grown botanicals sourced from the estate, Levin Down Goodwood Gin is handcrafted using traditional methods, distilled with mineral water naturally chalk-filtered through the South Downs. The result is an authentic London Dry from the wilds of West Sussex – luxuriously soft on the nose and perfectly balanced on the palate – native gorse flower lending a tantalising hint of warm toasted coconut and vanilla to forward notes of zesty citrus and characteristic juniper.
You can buy Goodwood Gin online, from Goodwood Farm Shop or the Motor Circuit Shop.
