This exceptional drink was created by Johnny Neill, a direct descendant of a long line of distillers, whose heritage stretches back as far as the Baobab trees found in Africa today. Inspired by his family’s sense of adventure, Johnny strove to create his own signature blend of Gin: a tribute to his English distilling heritage, and a homage to the enigmatic beauty of his wife’s African homeland. The result is Whitley Neill Handcrafted dry Gin; a balanced, distinctive Gin that blends classic Gin botanicals with exotic African botanicals to create a liquid with a flavour as unique as its heritage.

 Tasting Notes :

Appearance: clear

Nose: The nose is both citrus-sweet and peppery, with a distinctive floral aroma. Rich notes of juniper and citrus, pot pourri and exotic spices.

Palate: Whitley Neill Gin is slightly softer and much smoother than traditional Gins. 

Finish: The finish is a long one, with a subtle fade of herbs, cocoa and candied lemon peels
