London Dry gin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Whitley Neill Gin is a London Dry gin.[1][2]
The brand was launched in 2005 and acquired by Halewood Wines & Spirits in 2009.[3]
The gin is distilled by Johnny Neill, a descendant of Thomas Greenall, in an antique copper pot still.[4]
The gin contains two African botanicals[4] — 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. [citation needed]
In 2021, the distillery moved to London and is now produced at a site named Halewood's City of London Distillery.[5] The gin distillery was previously located just outside Birmingham in the West Midlands.[5]
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.[6]
