This month on our drinks trolley is your go-to cocktail companion – Whitley Neill Gin. Whitley Neill boasts a range of premium handcrafted gins of exceptional quality that are inspired by the vivid beauty and mystery of Africa and a never-ending drive for perfection.

Get To Know Whitley Neill Gin

Whitley Neill gins – which are currently the No. 1 selling premium gins in the United Kingdom – are all distilled in small batches by Johnny Neill, a direct descendant of Thomas Greenall and the last in a long line of distillers.

Whitley Neill brings together eight generations of gin crafting expertise, which results in inimitable, award-winning gins that skilfully blend and balance rare African botanicals and unusual aromatics, all to create an enigmatic craft gin experience to savour.

Four Variants Available In SA

Of the various award-winning Whitley Neill Gin variants, four are currently available locally.

PROTEA AND HIBISCUS (Exclusive to South Africa)

Their ever-popular protea and hibiscus variant was recently awarded Gold at the SA Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards and Silver at the Old Mutual Trophy Spirits Show 2019. The flavours of this variant combine to bring distinctive floral notes to create a smooth gin with a unique and remarkable taste that reflects the majestic beauty of the two flowers.

ORIGINAL 

Their original or small batch variant is slightly softer than more traditional London dry gins and very smooth with rich juniper, citrus, potpourri and notes of an array of exotic spices. It has a long finish with a subtle fade of herbs, cocoa and candied lemon peels, whilst the nose is both citrusy sweet and peppery, with distinctive floral undertones.

ALOE & CUCUMBER

Their aloe and cucumber gin is also an African inspired handcrafted infusion of cooling, slightly sweet cucumber and subtle hints of Karoo aloe, which enhances the other botanicals that are crafted into this Whitley Neill variant. This aloe and cucumber infusion – in addition to several other uniquely African botanicals – makes it a smooth, light, fragrant and well-balanced gin.

RASPBERRY

Finally, their raspberry flavoured gin boasts bright flavours from Scottish raspberries that are balanced with distinctive juniper notes. A delicate sweetness rounds this deliciously vibrant gin.

How To Drink Whitley Neill With Hall & Bramley

Whitley Neill Gin can be accompanied by a range of different tonic waters and other mixers depending on personal taste preferences. It pairs well with selected tonic waters from the recently launched local mixers range – Hall & Bramley. (Hall & Bramley was the mixers sponsor of last year’s Wade Bales Cap Classique & Gin Affair).

Hall & Bramley produces a regular Indian tonic and a pink tonic, in addition to a blackcurrant-flavoured purple tonic. For a perfect serve, try Whitley Neill small-batch gin with Hall & Bramley Indian Tonic over ice, with a few slices of fresh orange.

Where To Get Yours

Both Whitley Neill Gin and Hall & Bramley are currently available at the majority of the stores of the leading liquor retailers such as Pick n Pay Liquor, TOPS at SPAR, Ultra Liquors, Makro, Norman Goodfellows, Overland Liquors and so forth.
