Whitley Neill, the UK's current number one selling premium gin, has created a range that skillfully blends and balances rare African botanicals and unusual aromatics. The handcrafted gins highlight how English heritage and South African flavours pair well together. In addition to the original variant, they're also known for their locally exclusive protea and hibiscus, as well as the award-winning aloe and cucumber variants.

Adding to this, they've recently launched other equally exciting variants such as blackberry, blood orange, and the soon to be launched rhubarb and ginger flavour. Whitley Neill brings together eight generations of expertise to craft a gin perfect for those who love an international feel but crave a local taste.

Whitley Neill's protea and hibiscus flavoured gin, exclusively available in South Africa, is a handcrafted gin of exceptional quality, inspired by the wild and natural beauty of Africa’s landscape. The protea and hibiscus flavours combine to bring distinctive floral notes to create a smooth gin with a unique and remarkable taste that reflects the majestic beauty of the two flowers.
