Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin

While most of Johnny Neill's inspiration for his award-winning gins comes from his ancestor's intrepid exploits abroad, Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin harks from fond memories made slightly closer to home. Post-war, the Whitley Family was living in rural England near Daresbury, and they cultivated their garden with thrilling flavors, serving as inspiration for both the table and their experimentation with new gins.

The essence of rhubarb adds a tart, crisp edge to the smooth gin base, while the ginger extract warms the palate for a full-bodied finish. Johnny Neill's Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin evokes childhood memories of visiting his grandparents on their farm by taking a firm Whitley Family favorite in rhubarb and placing a warm twist on this with fresh ginger. Hints of juniper are prominent, followed by a noticeably sweet, fruity aroma. On the palate, it starts with a bit of juniper and ginger spice, but the rhubarb flavor is unmistakable after the initial heat fades away. There are also prominent notes of sweet orange and a hint of herbs.
