Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin, 70 cl

Product Information

Overall bartenders will find that Whitley Neill Gin makes a pretty consistent mixing gin that while contemporary reads to most consumers as gin. Overall, Whitley Neill Gin Whitley Neill has a contemporary style palate buoyed by a classic nose. As a Martini the juniper dominates the nose but is nearly absent on the palate— a tad misleading.

But if mixology isn’t your thing, then please don’t worry, the flavours of our gins speak for themselves. Perfect to pair with premium Classic mixers and a fruit garnish, from Indian Tonic, lemonade or just a light and refreshing soda water, our gins are expertly crafted to bring out the best flavours from around the world. However, as a gin, Whitley Neill still shows its stuff— it has a contemporary style flare while still retaining a lot of juniper, coriander and citrus character. It’s unmistakably a gin. Beyond that Whitley Neill Gin is distilled on a century old copper pot still and other than the two signature botanicals, the bill is pretty standard. It’s distilled on a base of grain spirit and bottled at 43% ABV. Tasting Notes Lots of juniper up front— this may be surprising to people who know Whitley Neill primarily from their syrupy, flavored gins— but there’s an element of the nose that reads as a bit classic. The lemon is vivid and candied (I only said a bit!) with a strong lemon leaf and oil facet. Serve simply by mixing 50ml Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin with lemonade then garnish lavishly with sliced strawberries, a slice of cucumber and orange segments.

But further, the U.S. gets a rare treat— a gin that preceded the Gin Renaissance and has thrived in the past fifteen years. It’s a good gin that works well behind the bar and has a smooth, flavorful character that will appeal to adventurous home drinkers and fans of contemporary style gins that haven’t forgot about juniper. Sipped, Whitley Neill shows a bit more of its spice-forward side. Tart lemon zest, bitter orange zest and a vague spicy character that’s hard to place specifically. It has hints of cubeb pepper, cardamom, and creamy cassia, while being none of those clearly. The spice notes combine to produce a novel accord.
