News from Whitley Neill - a special edition of gins for the summer
The Whitley Neill brand produce London Dry Gin, which was launched in 2005 by Johnny Neill, following an old family tradition in gin production.
Introducing Whitley Neill's family history
The Neill family began distillation in 1762, and Johnny Neill is the eighth generation to maintain a long family tradition. From a young age he liked to experiment. Under the guidance of his grandmother, he tried to dramatically change the sharpness of juniper by adding various herbs and fruit.
His wife, who comes from South Africa, became John's inspiration in creating new exotic flavors. She often told him touching stories from her hometown, and that's how John got to the moss or baob fruit, which he combined into one unique gin.
