Whitley Neill Quince Gin (5cl, 43%)

Nose: Amongst a fruit-tastic salvo of citrus zest, apricot yoghurt and ripe nectarines there’s earthy juniper, a hint of leather and a touch of exotic spice.

Palate: A very sweet, quite syrupy texture reveals notes of juicy citrus, warming ginger, hints of juniper and unmistakable quince. There’s plenty of fleshy pear and peach in there too.

Finish: A note of thick-cut Seville orange marmalade lingers with a little zesty grapefruit.

Overall: One of the best flavoured-gins around – beautifully balanced and stunning with elderflower tonic and a slice of orange.
