WhitleyNeillPinkGrapefruitGin(700mL)

<p>A delightfully sweet citrus-forward Gin with a creamy texture and effervescent lightness. </p><p><em>John James Whitley Neill</em> comes from eight generations of distillers, and he’s a direct descendant of <em>Thomas Greenall.</em> If you are reading this from just about anywhere in the UK, you might instantly recognize that the Greenall name has been associated with distilling in England — Gin in particular —<em> for 250 years.</em> As a child, he happened upon a cache of bottles in his grandmother’s storage, all full and labeled with the family name. This experience inspired him to<em> take up the family tradition.</em> And things are going well so far.</p><p>All Whitley Neill Spirits are distilled in a <em>small-format, 100-year-old, copper-pot still</em> — the oldest operating still in the UK. They shun the “continuous distillation” process that ramps up volume, choosing to start and finish one batch at a time.</p><p>Whitley Neill is famous for <em>breaking conventions</em> in Gin-making. They were one of the first to step outside of the “London Dry Box” that held the Gin-drinking world in a cage of conformity for decades. <em>Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit Gin</em> is one of their most delightful examples.</p><p>They say that this Gin was inspired by “<em>The citrus groves of Spain,” </em>and that makes sense. Sure, there are plenty of juniper berries in the mix to satisfy the Giniest of Gin-snobs. But then the botanical mix opens up with Iberian pink grapefruit, sweet oranges, lemon zest, lime blossoms, balm herb, clove, and chamomile over a base of<em> more traditional Gin botanicals,</em> including coriander, cassia, angelica, and licorice.</p>
