Whitley Neill Blood Orange Gin
Flavoured 43% ABV ABV Whitley Neill / Halewood Artisanal SpiritsOrange Dominates Too Much
The blood orange extract is vivid but rather overwhelming at 43% ABV. The juniper, coriander, and cassia bark are lost beneath the citrus. I appreciate the quality but would prefer more botanical balance.
A Crowd-Pleaser

Bittersweet Finale
The blood orange fading into dry juniper with a sophisticated bitter-citrus conclusion is this gin's signature moment. The journey from sweet-tart citrus to that Campari-like finish at 43% ABV is genuinely exciting.
Sweet-Tart Balance
Whitley Neill balance the blood orange sweetness with genuine tartness perfectly. The vanilla warmth and gentle spice on the nose lead to vibrant citrus on the palate. At 43% the juniper foundation is solid.
Blood Orange Done Right
The vivid sweet-tart blood orange is authentic and bold. The piney juniper foundation keeps it grounded, the earthy African botanical complexity adds intrigue, and at 43% ABV the sophisticated bitter-citrus conclusion is superb.
