Whitley Neill Raspberry 1L
Pour this and the room smells like a punnet of fresh raspberries someone just cracked open. Then you sip and the gin shows up properly: juniper, a little liquorice, real botanicals holding the fruit in place. It's the rare flavoured gin that doesn't taste like sweets. Top it with tonic, hand it to the friend who 'doesn't really like gin,' and watch them go quiet.
The nose is all fresh-picked raspberry with a squeeze of citrus and a clear hit of juniper underneath. On the palate it's smooth and silky, tangy raspberry sweetness up front, then the proper gin botanicals (juniper, coriander, a whisper of liquorice) pull it back so it never tips into syrupy. Sweet orange and lemon peel keep it bright, and it lands on a clean, crisp finish that asks for another sip. At 43% there's real backbone here, not a watered-down fruit cordial.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Whitley Neill is an English gin from a distilling family whose roots go back to 1762, founded by Johnny Neill, an eighth-generation distiller. The original gin made its name with African botanicals like baobab fruit, a nod to his wife's South African home. This raspberry edition keeps that classic London Dry base and folds in bright, fresh Scottish raspberries. English gin, Scottish fruit, one very good glass.
