Whitley Neill Gin

Whitley Neill Gin is a London Dry gin.

History
The brand was launched in 2005 and acquired by Halewood Wines & Spirits in 2009.

Distillation and Products
The gin is distilled by Johnny Neill, a descendant of Thomas Greenall, in an antique copper pot still.

The gin 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. Whitney Neill also produces a multitude of flavoured variations.

In 2021, the distillery moved to London and is now produced at a site named Halewood's City of London Distillery. The gin distillery was previously located just outside Birmingham in the West Midlands.

The gin was originally sold in a distinctive matte black bottle with a stylised baobab tree as its logo. It was redesigned in 2013.

In 2014, Whitley Neill won a gold medal at the San Francisco Spirits Competition 2014 and was referenced in The Telegraph Online as one of the five best gins to buy.
