Old Course Hotel launch exclusive gin with Darnley's

The luxury five-star resort, Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, St Andrews, has announced a new and exclusive gin, partnering with nearby distillery Darnley’s to create a premium spirit that celebrates the region.

Following the successful launch event in London last week, the luxury five-star resort, Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa, St Andrews, is excited to announce its new and exclusive gin, created in collaboration with Darnley’s distillery.

Located just 10 miles from each other, the gin showcases the hotel and distillery’s unique position on the East Fife coast, using only natural botanicals and incorporating locally grown and foraged ingredients. The gin’s name: Fearann, Mar, after the Gaelic for “the Earth, the Sea”, is a nod to this location, where the land and sea meet.

Owned by the Wemyss family, with centuries-old heritage rooted in Fife, Darnley’s Gin was the ideal partner, working with local experts and using only natural ingredients to craft their products.

Available exclusively across Old Course Hotel’s bars and restaurants, Fearann, Mar incorporates locally sourced sea buckthorn, milk thistle and sugar kelp for a coastal finish, along with juniper, coriander seeds, angelica and marigold petals. The gin is packaged in sustainable pouches that can be reused and recycled.

The pouches weigh less and also take up less space than conventional glass bottles, allowing more to be transported at once, reducing the carbon footprint.

“We’re thrilled to launch this exclusive gin, a product that champions our beautiful Scottish coast. Collaborating with a local distillery was hugely important to us and with Darnley’s expertise, Fife heritage and use of only natural ingredients they really are a perfect fit and we’re excited for this partnership to grow.

“We’re looking forward to guests enjoying a Fearann, Mar G&T or one of the specially designed cocktails at Old Course Hotel this summer.” – Phyllis Wilkie, general manager, Old Course Hotel.

The launch of Fearann, Mar is timed to the 150th anniversary of Kohler Co. the owners of Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa. With Kohler’s legacy of innovation, luxury hospitality experiences and valued partnerships, the creation of this unique spirit marks a celebration of this continued ethos.
