Description

About Whitley Neill Quince Handcrafted Gin

Inspired by Persian voyage & exotic fruits
The heritage of Whitley Neill’s craft reaches back to Frederick Neill’s voyages into Persia, where he discovered exotic fruits such as quince. This gin is built to reflect that adventurous spirit: quince juice/extract from Turkish orchards combined with classic gin botanicals.

Key Details

• ABV: 43% (70 cl) in many markets.

• Botanicals & flavour profile:

  • Juniper berries, coriander seed, cassia bark, orris root, angelica root, liquorice root, sweet orange, lemon peel, and quince extract/juice.

  • Aroma: Stone fruit – fresh quince, apricot, peach, citrus zest.

  • Palate: Sweet quince flavour dominates, followed by apricot/peach sweetness, citrus and a smooth gin-backbone.

  • Finish: Long and fruity, opening into orange blossom and zesty grapefruit.

Why Choose It

• A unique flavoured gin in the craft space, combining a distinct fruit (quince) with premium gin base.

• Versatile enough for sipping neat (over ice) or in elevated gin-cocktails where sweetness and stone-fruit complexity are desired.

• Award‐winning: For example, Gold at the 2020 International Wine & Spirits Competition.

Serving & Pairing Tips

• Serve with tonic: 50 ml gin + premium Indian tonic or citrus-leaning tonic, garnish with a slice of pear or orange to emphasise the fruit notes.

• Cocktail suggestion: Try a “Quince Gin Fizz” — 50 ml Quince Gin, 25 ml lemon juice, soda water, garnish with mint or a thin slice of quince/pear.

• Pair with food: Light-to-medium desserts featuring stone fruits (peach tart, apricot crumble), or soft cheeses with mild fruit compote.

• Storage: Store upright in cool, dark place; keep the flavour fresh by consuming within reasonable time after opening.
