Founded by Johnny Neill, a member of an English family with a long distilling history dating back to 1762, the brand is often inspired by his family's pioneering spirit and Johnny's own experiences. The brand's gins are known for incorporating a wide array of botanicals from around the world, which reflect Neill's personal travels and the global heritage of the gin category.
Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin is a flavored gin that prominently features the vibrant taste and aroma of Sicilian blood oranges. This gin is celebrated for its bright, citrus-forward profile, which captures the essence of the Mediterranean sun.
Nose:
The aroma is dominated by sweet orange, with hints of blood orange providing a zestier, more robust note. This leads to a fragrant bouquet that is both inviting and distinctly citrusy.
Palate:
The palate starts with a sweet-tart orange flavor reminiscent of candied citrus peels. This transitions into a more bitter and herbaceous middle where the classic gin notes of juniper and coriander come through, alongside a subtle licorice undertone. The gin is smooth, with a slight juiciness that makes it mouthwatering and refreshing.
Finish:
The finish is warm with a continuation of juniper and citrus notes, leaving a lasting impression of a well-rounded and robust gin.
Awards:
