The underlying gin structure is built on a classic botanical framework including juniperJuniperThe one compulsory botanical: gin must taste predominantly of juniper. Its "berry" is really a small conifer cone, resinous and peppery.Glossary, coriander seeds, angelica rootAngelicaThe root of a tall umbellifer, earthy and musky. After juniper and coriander it is the most common botanical: it binds the aromas and holds the finish.Glossary, orris rootOrris rootIris rhizome dried for years, then ground. Powdery and violet-like, it mainly works as a fixative that binds and lengthens the other aromas.Glossary, cassia bark, citrus fruits and liquorice. This foundation provides balance and dryness, allowing the brighter and more aromatic ingredients to be layered without overpowering the spirit. Lemongrass extract and ginger are introduced to bring freshness, warmth and a distinctly zesty character.

On the nose, the gin opens with vibrant citrus aromas led by lemongrass, supported by lemon and sweet orange. Fresh ginger adds a gentle spicy lift, while juniper and light herbal notes remain present in the background, giving structure and definition.

The palate is clean and approachable, with an initial burst of citrus freshness followed by the warming, slightly peppery character of ginger. Herbal and floral nuances emerge gradually, supported by subtle sweetness from liquorice and the earthy roots. The texture is smooth and light, with a flavour profile that remains clear and well defined.

The finish is refreshing and moderately dry, leaving lingering citrus and gentle spice. Whitley Neill Lemongrass & Ginger Gin is well suited to a gin and tonic served with a citrus garnish or a slice of fresh ginger, and it can also be used in light, aromatic cocktails where freshness and spice are desired.
