Weavers is the long standing home to Castle Gate Gin, produced in Nottingham with a distinct botanical flavour, including acorns mainly foraged in Sherwood Forest and the shires of Central England. This unique gin  is dry with a distinct nutty backdrop thanks to the acorns. Weavers has also released a sister gin, No.17 Castle Gate Strawberry and Lavender. Inspired by Weavers’ unique acorn gin recipe, this gin is packed full of strawberries along with touches of lavender. It's a fruity style of gin that both gin lovers and those who are still to be converted will love!
