Whitley Neill is a UK-based gin brand that has become well-known for its range of premium, handcrafted gins. 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 Gin is crafted by Halewood Artisanal Spirits and is recognized for incorporating unique botanicals like the African Baobab tree fruit and Cape Gooseberries. These elements give the gin a distinctively tangy and bittersweet profile, contributing to its multiple accolades.
Nose:
The initial aroma is rich with the classic scent of juniper, complemented by citrus notes. These are enriched by deeper, warm tones of exotic spices and a subtle sweetness from the unique African botanicals like baobab.
Palate:
The taste follows through with a strong juniper presence that is typical of classic gins, blended with a sweet and slightly peppery flavor. This includes hints of orange and angelica root, adding a whisper of sweetness and depth to the spicy profile.
Finish:
It finishes smoothly on the palate, maintaining the dryness expected from a premium gin. There's a slight oiliness that lingers, leaving a refined aftertaste that is both elegant and traditional in style.
