Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger Gin

Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger Gin – 70cl / 43% – A lively, warming gin from Whitley Neill, it is made with a blend of 10 botanicals, including juniper, rhubarb and ginger. The palate is tart and spicy, with notes of bright juniper and sweet-and-sour stewed rhubarb, and fiery ginger lingering in the finish.

Whilst most of Johnny Neills inspiration for his award-winning Gins comes from his ancestors intrepid exploits abroad, this Rhubarb & Ginger Gin harks from fond memories made slightly closer to home. Post-war, the Whitley Family, now settled into rural England near Daresbury, cultivated their garden with thrilling flavours, serving as inspiration for both the table and indeed their experimentation with new Gins. This Gin evokes childhood memories of visiting his grandparents on their farm by taking a firm Whitley family favourite in rhubarb and placed a warm twist on this with the addition of fresh ginger. The essence of rhubarb adds a tart crisp edge to a smooth English gin base whilst the ginger extract warms the palate for a full-bodied finish.
