A Whitley Neill Rhubard and Ginger Gin Collins got some Thumbs up from the Team, it had a funky taste, many liked it, some didn’t. 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 tried it in a Gin Basil Highball for the Fun of it, and hell yes: it works and gives a special fruity note to it. Trying all kinds of Mixers, we all of a sudden had a Thomas Henry Coffe Tonic in our Hands. 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. I was definitely in the mood that a classic Gin & Tonic is not my favorite way to mix Whitley Neill Rhubard and Ginger. all served in a Highball Glass, garnished with Cucumber! Or if you prefer it more classic: with an orange twist.
