Garnish
Lightly Singed Rosemary SprigWhitley Neill Connoisseur's Cut is a London Dry Gin created as a more intense and juniper-forward expression within the Whitley Neill portfolio. Developed for enthusiasts seeking a classic structure with heightened aromatic definition, it reflects the Neill family's long distilling heritage while adhering strictly to traditional London Dry principles.
The gin is distilled in England using a carefully balanced selection of botanicals. Juniper forms the backbone, supported by coriander for citrus lift, angelica root for earthy depth, and iris root for subtle floral structure. A trio of citrus elements - lemon peel, sweet orange and grapefruit - brings brightness and layered freshness, while liquorice adds gentle roundness and cohesion.
On the nose, the profile is crisp and expressive, led by piney juniper and fresh citrus zest. Grapefruit introduces a lightly bitter edge, complemented by softer floral tones and restrained spice.
The palate is dry, firm and well defined. Juniper remains prominent throughout, followed by lemon and orange notes that add clarity and vibrancy. Coriander and angelica contribute herbal complexity, while liquorice provides a discreet sweetness that balances the citrus-driven core without softening the dry character.
The finish is long, clean and warming, marked by lingering juniper, citrus oils and subtle spice. Whitley Neill Connoisseur's Cut is particularly suited to classic serves such as a traditional gin and tonic or a dry Martini, where its structure and intensity can be fully appreciated.

Dehydrated Grapefruit Wheel
Lightly Singed Rosemary SprigIn a chilled highball glass, add a large, clear ice sphere to minimize dilution and maintain the gin's robust 47% ABV.
Pour 50ml of Whitley Neill Connoisseur's Cut Gin over the ice, allowing its bold juniper and citrus notes to shine.
Top with 150ml of Fentimans Valencian Orange Tonic Water, whose bright citrus profile complements the gin's lemon, orange, and grapefruit botanicals.
Gently stir to integrate.
Garnish with a dehydrated grapefruit wheel to enhance the citrus aroma and a sprig of lightly singed rosemary to introduce a subtle herbal note.
For alternative pairings, consider Thomas Henry Botanical Tonic Water or East Imperial Burma Tonic Water.
