Product description
Whitley Neill Gin, a creation of Johnny Neill, debuted in 2005 in the Halewood Wine & Spirits portfolio.
Neill is an eighth-generation member of the famous Greenall Whiteley distilling family and claims that his English-made gin is inspired by Africa. He owes this inspiration to his wife, who was born in Africa, who encouraged him to experiment with botanicals from the Black Continent. The gin formula includes baobab fruit and edible physalis, while the traditional side of the recipe is represented by juniper berries, coriander, orris and angelica roots, cassia bark, lemon and orange peel. It is distilled at Langley Distillery in a copper still that is over a hundred years old. In recent years, Whitley Neill has expanded its range of gin flavours, currently there are a dozen or so. Their recipes are subject to minor modifications (they do not contain African ingredients). The Brazilian Lime Gin presented here is a limited edition from 2020, whose formula includes Brazilian limes, coriander seeds, orris and angelica root, cassia bark, licorice and lemons.
Whiteley Neill Brazilian Lime Gin is a summer offering, full of citrus fruits, with limes and lemons standing out, complemented by notes of pine needles, juniper and a touch of licorice. We recommend serving it with Fever Tree Indian Tonic with a slice of lime and in a Gimlet cocktail.
