Whitley Neill Original Handcrafted Dry Gin

Description

About Whitley Neill Original Handcrafted Dry Gin

Heritage & Craftsmanship
Whitley Neill was created by Johnny Neill, a descendant of a long line of distillers, combining English gin-making tradition with botanical inspiration drawn from Africa.  The gin is distilled in small batches using a copper pot still and a carefully selected blend of botanicals including two African-inspired ones.

Key Details

• ABV: 43% (in most markets).

• Botanicals: Juniper berries, coriander seed, cassia bark, orris root, angelica root, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, Baobab fruit (African “tree of life”) and Cape Gooseberry (physalis).

• Tasting Profile:

  • Nose: Bright juniper, citrus zest (lemon/peel), floral spice, subtle exotic fruit notes.

  • Palate: Balanced juniper and citrus upfront, mid-palate shows warm spice, herb-like depth, and a subtle sweet fruit edge from the exotic botanicals.

  • Finish: Clean and lasting, with spice, citrus peel and a gentle herbal hint.

Why It Stands Out

• A London Dry Gin that adds subtle depth through the inclusion of African botanicals, giving it a distinctive flavour while remaining true to the gin style.

• Great balance: accessible enough for a G&T yet refined enough for gin-lovers who appreciate complexity.

• Versatile serving options and strong mixology potential.

Serving & Pairing Tips

• Serve with tonic: 50 ml Whitley Neill Original + premium Indian tonic water + large ice cubes + garnish with a slice of orange or lemon peel.

• Cocktail base: Ideal for classic cocktails like Negroni, Gin Fizz or Gin & Tonic; its citrus and spice profile brings added character.

• Food pairing: Works well with light seafood, citrus-dressed salads, mild cheeses or herb-led desserts.

• Storage: Store upright in a cool, dark environment away from strong odours; enjoy within a few months of opening for full botanical freshness.
