Whitley Neill Quince Gin (700 ml)

Whitley Neill's quince expression emerges from a London distillery tradition anchored in precise botanical selection. The gin begins with a juniper-dominant base — a hallmark of London Dry classification — then layers nine additional botanicals including poached quince, coriander seed, and cardamom, distilled in copper pot stills to preserve aromatic integrity. The quince infusion, a signature transgression from classical London Dry austerity, introduces subtle stone-fruit sweetness and a faint floral undertone without cloying the spirit. Bottled at 42% ABV, the gin maintains enough alcohol presence to carry juniper's piney structure while allowing the quince's delicate tannins to surface on the finish. The result sits between classic dry gin and fruit-forward modern expressions — neither fully austere nor sweetened, but deliberately bridging both territories.
