Whitley Neill Blackberry Gin

Whitley Neill Blackberry Gin is a flavoured gin from the Whitley Neill range, designed around a classic gin base and a clear blackberry-led profile. It combines the core character of juniper with fruit notes derived from blackberries, aiming for a balance between traditional gin structure and a richer, berry-forward style.

On the nose, the fruit character comes through first, with ripe blackberry notes sitting above a recognizable juniper backbone. The aroma remains gin-led rather than liqueur-like, with the berry element acting as a top layer rather than replacing the underlying botanical profile.

The palate opens with dark berry flavours that read as fresh and slightly tangy, before juniper reasserts itself and brings dryness and lift. The "traditional gin botanicals" component supports the mid-palate with gentle spice and herbal tones, adding depth and keeping the finish structured.

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering blackberry and a lightly earthy impression alongside juniper. This profile works well in a gin and tonic where the fruit can be highlighted with a simple garnish, and it can also be used in cocktails that benefit from an embedded berry note while retaining a clear gin identity.
