While the original Whitley Neill Gin is inspired by the exotic flavours of Africa, their Rhubarb & Ginger Gin variation takes inspiration from closer to the Whitley family's homestead.
Enjoyably fruity on the nose, with rhubarb preserve and baked apple. Hints of leafy herbs grow in the background.
Orange, ginger and coriander arrive on the palate, though it's still dominated by rhubarb. A core of earthy juniper builds.
A tangy touch of tartness appears later on, balanced by black pepper and gingerbread.
Crikey!! Some people... it's only gin, what do you expect. Bought a sample of this for the Mrs. She really liked it - more so than some more "cred"/expensive gins - so will be buying some more. New favourite. Ignore the negative reviews and treat yourself (and for the under 50s it's totes amazeballs btw).
Horrible! Yuck, yuck, yuck, Artificial taste, poured it down the sink.. gutted as the Whitley quince gin is amazing
The worst tasting gin ever! Reminds me of 1970's bubble gum!! Bazooka Joe on a bad day!!!
I've tried all the rhubarb and ginger gins and liqueurs and this one is easily the nicest.
Rhubarb & Ginger - what do they conjure up? I imagine tartness with a bit of gingery heat, slightly zesty maybe. This vile concoction tastes like a combination of jelly tots and nail polish remover - way too sweet to be classed as a gin. YUK
