Whitley Neill Gin - Review & Tasting Notes
About Whitley Neill Gin
Developed by Johnny Neill (a descendent of Thomas Greenall) in 2005, Whitley Neill gin is distilled using both traditional gin botanicals and African botanicals. Johnny Neill sought out the rare African botanicals such as baobab fruit and cape gooseberries, and the Baobab (also known as the 'tree of life') can be seen on the bottle. Whitley Neill Gin, now part of the Halewood International portfolio, is produced in a 100 year old copper still at Halewood's Sovereign Distillery near Liverpool. The Gin Guide Review Whitley Neill gin is very well balanced, making a smooth, light and interesting gin. The taste is not as heavy on juniper as many classic gins, yet the citrus is not overpowering and the African fruits give Whitley Neill Gin zing and an exotic character. It is very good value for its price. - Paul Jackson, 2016 You Might Also Like... Try Opihr Gin for another option with international flavour, or Wint & Lila Gin for prominent orange.
