Whitley Neill Gin is a hand crafted London Dry gin.[1] It is distilled by Johnny Neill, a descendant of Thomas Greenall, in an antique copper pot still. It contains two African botanicals — Baobab Fruit and Cape Gooseberries as well as coriander seeds, sweet lemon, sweet orange, angelica root, cassia bark, florentine iris and juniper berries.[citation needed]
The brand was launched in 2005 and acquired by Halewood Wines & Spirits in 2009.[2]
Most recently, Whitley Neill has won a gold medal at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2014 & was referenced in The Telegraph Online as one of the five best gins to buy.[3]
The gin, distilled in Liverpool, England, is sold in a distinctive matte black bottle with a stylised baobab tree on as its logo. It was recently redesigned in 2013.
