Whitley Neill Japanese Yuzu & White Strawberry Handcrafted Gin 70 cl 41.3%

Whitley Neill is known for travelling the world in search of unusual botanicals, and this edition heads to Japan for the sharp citrus fruit yuzu, met here by sweet white strawberries.

Expert's description

Whitley Neill Japanese Yuzu & White Strawberry is an English gin infused with yuzu and white strawberries and bottled at 41.3%.

The gin is built on the classic Whitley Neill base of juniper, coriander and angelica root, joined by Japanese yuzu for an intense, tart citrus character. White strawberries add a gentle sweetness and a light floral undertone that balances the sharpness of the yuzu.

Whitley Neill was founded by Johnny Neill, who comes from a gin-making family stretching back to 1762, and the brand is known for its globally inspired flavour range.
