You might think Gin is a type of spirit that is only consumed in summer, but as the we officially say goodbye to the warm summer nights we say hello to the dull and gloomy winter days – brighten your day with the Whitley Neill Black Berry Gin. 

Containing a smooth flavour, with a core of delicious, piney juniper followed by zesty sweet citrus and hints of wonderful black pepper. The finish has a little earthiness alongside the warming spice of cassia.

This particular Whitley Neill Gin variant has also won silver at this year’s San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
