Highgrove — the private residence of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla — and the Cotswolds Distillery have announced the launch of a new collaborative release, created to celebrate nature, heritage and the enduring craftsmanship of English whisky making.

Highgrove Evergreen (46% ABV) is a single malt English whisky distilled from Plumage Archer barley, a traditional heritage variety grown on the Highgrove Estate, and matured in a combination of ex-Bourbon and STR Red wine casks.

The whisky, which will become a permanent addition to the Cotswolds Distillery portfolio and reflects an ongoing collaboration between Highgrove and the distillery, is said to offer notes of orchard fruit, honeyed malt and warm spice, lifted by subtle red-berry sweetness from the red wine cask influence.

Each bottle of Highgrove Evergreen comes presented in a gift box featuring an illustration painted by King Charles III. A View from the Wildflower Meadow is reproduced from an original watercolour painted by His Majesty in 1995, when he was HRH The Prince of Wales. The scene depicts the beauty of Highgrove House and its iconic Wildflower Meadow, with the Cedar of Lebanon tree standing proudly in the background.

Highgrove’s profits from the sale of this whisky will support The King’s Foundation and its charitable education and training initiatives, some of which will take place at Highgrove.

Commenting on the launch, Daniel Szor, Founder of the Cotswolds Distillery, said: “When I first purchased Plumage Archer barley from the Highgrove Estate many years ago, I could never have imagined it would grow into a collaboration of this scale. To now craft a whisky that reflects our shared commitment to craftsmanship, provenance and respect for the land is a genuine honour. Highgrove Evergreen marks a remarkable milestone for our distillery and for the continued evolution of the English whisky category. We look forward to sharing this release with the proud British public, and eventually with international markets as well — particularly the United States, as we set our sights on key regions for 2026.”

Highgrove Evergreen is now available to pre-order online from the Cotswolds Distillery and Highgrove Gardens websites. It will be available to purchase in store from the Cotswolds Distillery and Highgrove Gardens from December 4th, for a RRP of £100.00.
