Whiteley Neil Gin

Whitley Neill is a premium artisanal gin brand that has become one of the most recognized names in the UK spirits industry. Launched in 2005 by Johnny Neill, the brand was inspired by a heritage of distilling dating back to 1762. Its distinctive approach often involves blending traditional gin botanicals with exotic ingredients, such as African baobab fruit and gooseberries, reflecting a global outlook while maintaining British distillation standards.

While the brand maintains a strong identity tied to the Whitley and Neill distilling families, the ownership transitioned to Halewood Artisanal Spirits. This acquisition allowed the brand to expand its portfolio significantly, introducing a wide range of flavored gins that have dominated the market. Today, the product is primarily distilled at the City of London Distillery, which is the brand's spiritual home and the first gin distillery in the City of London in over 200 years.

Under the ultimate ownership of Halewood Artisanal Spirits, Whitley Neill continues to be marketed as a quintessential British gin with international influences. The company oversees manufacturing and global distribution from its headquarters in the United Kingdom, ensuring the brand remains a staple in the luxury spirits segment for 2026 and beyond.
