Pour this over ice and the whole glass goes a soft pink, then the raspberry hits you. Sweet, a little tart, like fresh ones still warm from the punnet. But here's the trick: there's a proper gin underneath, real juniper and citrus holding it all up, so it never tips into syrupy. It's the bottle that makes you the hero at any gathering. Crack it open, splash some tonic, and watch everyone ask what it is.
First sniff is all fresh raspberry, with juniper and a twist of citrus humming behind it. On the tongue it's rich and smooth, that sweet-tangy berry rolling over a gentle botanical spice from coriander, cassia and a touch of liquorice. It's juicy without being a sweet. The finish is long and softly sweet, leaving you with raspberry and a clean citrus lift. Easy to love, but there's real gin doing the work here.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Whitley Neill comes from Johnny Neill, an eighth-generation distiller from a family that's been in the trade for centuries. The raspberries are Scottish, steeped into a classic London Dry gin built on nine botanicals: juniper, coriander, cassia, orris, angelica, liquorice, sweet orange, lemon peel and the berries themselves. Copper pot-distilled in England, small batches, no shortcuts. It's become one of the UK's favourite flavoured gins for a reason.
