Whitley Neill Gin
Whitley Neill Gin is an award winning, hand crafted premium London Dry gin. The inspiration of the gin comes from the vivid beauty & mystery of Africa. It is distilled in small batches by Johnny Neill, a direct descendant of Thomas Greenall & the last in a long line of distillers. Whitley Neill brings together 8 generations of expertise & a life long love of adventure. It is produced in small batches in an antique copper pot still,[1] and contains two African botanicals — Baobab Fruit and Cape Gooseberries as well as Corriander Seeds, Sweet Lemon, Sweet Orange, Angelica Root, Cassia Bark, Florentine Iris & Juniper Berries. The result is a distinctively smooth, light & citrusy Gin
Most recently, Whitley Neill has won a gold medal at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2014 & was referenced in The Telegraph Online as one of the five best gins to buy. [2]
The gin, distilled near Birmingham, England & is sold in a distinctive matte black bottle with a stylized baobob tree on as its logo. It was recently redesigned in 2013.
