Whitley Neill Lemongrass & Ginger Gin 75cl
Picture a G&T that fizzes with fresh lemongrass and then lands a warm ginger kick on the back end. That's this bottle. It's bright and a little zesty up top, then a gentle spicy heat rolls in to keep things interesting. Pour it tall over ice on a slow Nairobi evening and it pretty much makes itself the drink of the night.
First whiff is all zesty citrus, fresh-cut lemongrass with a floral lift sitting over the juniper. Take a sip and the lemongrass leads, clean and sherbet-bright, before warm ginger spice spreads across your tongue with a touch of sweetness to round it off. The classic gin botanicals (juniper, coriander, cassia, orris, angelica, a little liquorice) hold the whole thing together, so it never tips into novelty. Finish is smooth, balanced and just warming enough to make you want the next one.
