Whitley Neill Quince Handcrafted Gin

As a child, he came upon a box of gin bottles in his grandmothers house and wanted to learn more about the liquid that his family had been making since 1762. He learned about the impact various botanicals have on spirits and was instantly drawn to spirit-making. He set out to create a gin that would honor the tradition and passion of his family, with an exotic and modern twist. To that end, he added the baobab fruit and South African Cape gooseberry, which added a South African dimension to the spirit.The 100 percent grain spirit is distilled in an antique century-old copper pot still named Constance using exceptionally pure water and a careful balance of 9 quality botanicals.
