Weston Park is raising a glass to winter with the launch of a new hand-crafted gin inspired by the flavours of the season.

The stately home, on the Shropshire/Staffordshire border, has teamed up once again with local distiller Wrekin Spirit to launch its new Winter Spice Gin.

The Winter Spice Gin uses the finest botanicals that the winter season has to offer, handpicked from across the Weston Park estate.

It is flavoured with fresh botanicals including elderberries, cinnamon, hawthorn berries, and star anise.

The Winter Spice Gin follows on from the Butler’s Blend gin that Weston Park launched in July.

Wrekin Spirit was founded in 2018 on the family farm in Kynnersley, on the edge of Telford, by Isabel Mosley and her son Sam.  Each batch is hand-crafted and distilled in copper stills. 

Sam has been a regular trader at Weston’s popular food and craft events and has been working with the team in the Granary Restaurant to create a winter inspired gin that draws inspiration from the kitchen gardens and winter on the Weston Park estate.

The Winter Spice gin will be launched in the Granary Restaurant at a Steak Night on Friday 24 November, with guests receiving a cocktail based on the new gin on arrival. 

The Winter Spice Gin will be available to purchase from the Granary Restaurant and at Weston’s Christmas Markets on Saturday 2 December and Sunday 3 December and Saturday 9 December and Sunday 10 December. For more information, visit: weston-park.com
