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.
Very sweet, but try it as a white lady: 2 gin, 1 lemon juice, 1 Cointreau or grand marinier Shaken with ice. Cuts the sweetness
This gin is a must try to anyone who likes flavoured Gins. It is best severed up with a fever tree naturally light tonic and ice. I also think that it is very well priced.
very very disappointing... tastes of artificial sweetener - a bit like cough medicine - still tying find a way to not waste it... and I love gin, rhubarb and ginger.... just not this artificial tasting drink
Just tried this wonderful gin with Fevertree Ginger beer and a good slice of lime. Totally brilliant - it'll blow your socks off!
It really doesn’t taste of rhubarb or ginger. In fact, it takes like liquid Love Hearts. It’s my first rhubard gin purchase but I’ve heard better reviews from Warner Edwards version so I’ll try that next time. I liked it but it’s so sweet tasting that I can only manage one glass mixed with tonic.
