First Impressions
Whitley Neill Brazilian Lime was inspired by Johnny Neill's travels across South America in the 1990s — the aromatic Brazilian limes he encountered creating the inspiration for this zesty, citrus-forward expression. The gin is designed to transport you to distant shores with sun-drenched lime character.
Tasting
The nose is zesty freshly peeled limes with piney juniper. On the palate, refreshing bold lime oils with subtle cassia bark and grassy angelica root — citrusy, then exotic spice warmth, very smooth. The finish delivers sun-kissed lime peel and lime sorbet with earthy liquorice. Perfect for a gin Caipirinha or a zesty Gimlet.
The Bottom Line
Whitley Neill Brazilian Lime earns a 7 for vivid South American citrus over the quality London Dry base. The 43% and the cassia bark warmth prevent it from becoming mere lime cordial. At around £22, Brazilian sunshine at a British price point.
