WhitleyNeillRaspberryGin(700mL)

<p>A classic Dry Gin that blooms with raspberries on the palate.</p><p><em>John James Whitley Neill </em>comes from eight generations of distillers, and he’s a direct descendant of Thomas Greenall. If you are reading this from just about anywhere in the UK, you might instantly recognize that the <em>Greenall </em>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 small-format, <em>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 just keeps on adding new flavors and innovative infusions. This time they’re experimenting with<em> Rebus Idaeus</em> — the European raspberry.</p><p><em>Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin</em> is real Gin. When you raise the glass to your nose, <em>classic London Dry </em>is probably all you will detect. But when you give it a sip a <em>soothing background note of raspberry</em> arrives slowly like a sunrise. The full list of botanicals includes juniper, coriander, cassia, orris root, Angelica, licorice, sweet orange zest, lemon, and those lovely Scottish raspberries.</p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>The raspberry has been called “the most Scottish of all fruit.” Two of the most common cultivars in Scotland are Autumn Bliss and Glen Ample.</em></p>
