Whitley Neill Original London Dry
Whitley Neill handcrafted London dry gin, is a balanced, distinctive gin that blends classic gin botanicals with exotic African essences to create a liquid with a flavour as unique as its heritage. Whitley Neill London Dry Gin is slightly softer and much smoother than traditional gins, with rich notes of juniper and citrus, pot pourri and exotic spices. The finish is a long one, with a subtle fade of herbs, cocoa and candied lemon peels, while the nose is both citrus-sweet and peppery, with a distinctive floral aroma.
Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger
Whilst most of Johnny Neill’s inspiration for his award-winning Gins comes from his ancestors intrepid exploits abroad, this Rhubarb & Ginger Gin harks from fond memories made slightly closer to home. Post-war, the Whitley Family, now settled into rural England near Daresbury, cultivated their garden with thrilling flavours, serving as inspiration for both the table and indeed their experimentation with new Gins. Rhubarb & Ginger has become a firm favourite among the Whitley Neill range. The essence of rhubarb adds a tart crisp edge to the smooth English Gin base, whilst the ginger extract warms the palate for a full bodied finish.
Whitley Neill Raspberry
For Johnny Neill, the Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin evokes childhood memories of visiting his grandparents on their farm. Initial and distinct juniper, coriander and liquorice flavours gives way to a bright, fresh vibrant taste of Scottish raspberries. A perfectly balanced Gin with a delicate and fruity taste and a lasting citrus raspberry flavour.
Whitley Neill Blood Orange
A passion for discovery runs through all eight generations of the Whitley Neill family tree. So it’s perhaps fitting that while honeymooning in the beautiful Sicilian countryside, Frederick Neill and his new wife fell in love all over again, this time with the vibrant, zesty flavour of Sicilian blood oranges. Using his finely-honed distilling techniques, Freddy strove to create a recipe that would evoke the memories of his Sicilian honeymoon. And it’s this recipe that led to the creation of Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin. A handcrafted Gin of exceptional quality, that’s bursting with the dynamic citrus flavour of Sicilian blood oranges in every drop, for a smooth, crisp taste of the Mediterranean sun.
Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit
Inspired by the citrus groves of Spain, this handcrafted gin is infused with Iberian Pink Grapefruit. On the palate, Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit Gin has a delicate sweetness with citrusy notes that give way to a balanced grapefruit burst.
Whitley Neill Blackberry
Containing a smooth flavour, with a core of piney juniper, followed by zesty sweet citrus and hints of black pepper. The finish has a little earthiness alongside the warming spice of cassia. Whilst most of Johnny Neill’s inspiration for his award-winning gins comes from his ancestors’ intrepid exploits abroad, this Blackberry Gin harks from fond memories made slightly closer to home. This gin evokes the flavours of rural England, the taste of fresh plump berries and hints of floral hedgerow conjuring memories of Johnny Neill’s childhood spent picking blackberries in the fields and lanes around his grandparents’ farm.
