First Impressions
Batch Whinberry Gin uses whinberries — Lancashire's local name for bilberries or blaeberries — picked from the moors around Burnley and infused into their award-winning gin base. Complex, fruity, and not sugary sweet at all.
Tasting
The nose shows berries and sweetness with distinctive Batch spice and juniper. On the palate, massively fruity, round and soft with slightly jammy texture — peppery juniper backbone keeping it complex rather than sweet. The finish is dry and spicy with fruit lingering.
The Bottom Line
Batch Whinberry earns a 7 for a Lancashire heritage fruit gin. The whinberries add local colour — literally and figuratively — and the World's Best Gin distillery ensures proper gin character survives. Works beautifully with ginger ale, Prosecco, or neat.
