Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger Gin
Whitley Neill · City of London Distillery (contracted)
Whitley Neill Rhubarb & Ginger succeeds where many flavored gins fail — it integrates its signature botanicals without sacrificing gin identity. The juniper spine holds firm, making this a versatile bottle that works as well in a G&T as it does in more creative builds.
Nose
Rhubarb tartness hits first, followed by warm ginger root and a recognizable juniper backbone. Lemon peel and a whisper of cassia bark keep the nose grounded in gin territory.
Palate
Juicy and balanced, with the rhubarb adding a fruity sharpness that pairs well with the ginger's warmth. Juniper reasserts itself mid-palate alongside angelica and coriander, preventing any drift toward mere flavored vodka.
Finish
Medium length with ginger warmth and a tart rhubarb echo. Clean and refreshing, inviting the next sip.

Cadenhead's Old Raj Dry Gin
Cadenhead's
Old Raj is a gin of rare character—the saffron infusion turns a classic juniper-forward profile into something genuinely singular, perfect for the waning warmth of November. Its navy strength makes it a commanding presence in cocktails or neat, and its Scottish provenance from one of the oldest independent bottlers in the world lends quiet authority. A gin that feels like the last golden light before winter.
