Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin, 70 Cl

Product Information

While for P(our) in London, I met Johnny Neill and talked about his Gins. Next, to his new Rum Cask aged Marylebone Gin, we talked about his best selling new version of Whitley Neill Gins. A little bit than two years ago Team Whitley Neill created Gins with Flavour. Now there is a Whitley Neill Raspberry Gin, an Blood Orange Gin, Quince Gin, Parma Violet Gin, Protea and Hibiscus Gin, Aloe, and Cucumber Gin, Lemongrass & Ginger Gin and a Rhubarb and Ginger Gin. I have never heard about this portfolio extension. Johnny told they are really successful in the UK. No precise results, but for a first tasting something like: we need to dive deeper — some drink will definitely work like a Triple-A drink — we just needed more time to understand the right balance and partners.

Rhubarb & Ginger has become a firm favourite among the Whitley Neill range. The essence of rhubarb adds a tart crisp edge to a smooth English gin base whilst the ginger extract warms the palate for a full-bodied finish. Puh, I did not like it the first impression as a Gin & Tonic. I tried it with our Polidori Tonic. Second try: Fentimans Tonic. Not my taste. Third try: Britivic Tonic, not my palate again. Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK says: “We are extremely proud to have received the highest possible accolade for our own brand spirits. Now more than ever, we want to show that low prices don’t mean compromising on quality or taste.”

At the awards, the supermarket scooped up 17 awards in a variety of categories - more than double the number of achieved by competitor Waitrose, who only scooped up seven medals. Whitley Neill Rhubarb and Ginger Gin is one of many in Whitley Neill’s lineup of flavored gins. Like others in the line, despite the vivid purple bottle the gin isn’t purple— this isn’t one of those magic gins. It’s a legitimately rhubarb and ginger flavored gin. Before I needed to run to another appointment, we mixed it with SUPASAWA instead of fresh lemon. What was interesting here was that fresh lemon very much features the Rhubarb Taste while SUPASAWA makes it a spicy drink featuring Ginger. Do not ask me why. Just a tasteful fact. Today we did a little „Workshop“ on our August Special Drinks recommendation. Each month we have a Drink of the Month at Boilerman Bars and love the idea of also starting this at MONKEY BAR Cologne. And this time we are thinking about importing a not available Gin for our August specials to Germany. But if mixology isn’t your thing, then please don’t worry, the flavours of our gins speak for themselves. Perfect to pair with premium Classic mixers and a fruit garnish, from Indian Tonic, lemonade or just a light and refreshing soda water, our gins are expertly crafted to bring out the best flavours from around the world.

If you want a gin and tonic, look for Fever Tree Light on the sweet end— maybe something more bitter like Q helps balance things out. I found it to be almost unbearably sweet in a Negroni. There’s no amount of the other two ingredients, which are sweet already, that can make this a balanced drink.Handcrafted gin, curated by 8th Generation distiller Johnny Neill. The range has flavours inspired by tastes from around the world. Whilst most of Johnny Neill's inspiration for his gins comes from his ancestors intrepid exploits abroad, this Rhubarb & Ginger Gin harks from fond memories made slightly closer to home. Post-war, the Whitley Family, now settled into rural England near Daresbury, cultivated their garden with thrilling flavours, serving as inspiration for both the table and indeed their experimentation with new Gins. We started classic with a Thomas Henry Tonic, which was much better as a combination than the ones I tried days before, but still not one of my favorite Highballs. So, this is something we will give as an idea into our Boilerman Cocsmu to create a great Whitley Neils Rhubard and Ginger Highball as the HIGHBALL OF THE MONTH FOR AUGUST.
