Johnny grew up in a family which lived and breathed Gin for as long as he can remember. His fascination for this juniper based spirit was spurred on by his Grandmother, the owner of Greenall’s at the time. She guided him in his journey to understand how different botanicals affect the taste of Gin and fostered his ambition to produce his own blend later in life. His Father was a Director of the Greenall’s distillery and brewery, so he had the opportunity to observe and learn the incredibly valuable traditional methods he used to produce Whitley Neill Gin.

Profile

For some people, more experienced gin drinkers mainly, this means that they won’t like the drinking experience of a violet gin, because they enjoy the bitterness and the juniper-forward taste that gins normally have to offer. If you’re not extremely into sweet drinks then mixing it with a neutral tonic is also a great option while the floral violet notes will still be very much present. Zymurgorium Sweet Violet Gin Liqueur Other gins might make use of more unique botanicals like ginger for example which will create a different flavor pallet compared to a more standard gin.

In this violet gin, you’ll definitely get the amazing aroma of violet flowers. It contains sweet notes of violet and orange, but this is perfectly balanced with strong juniper notes and other more subtle botanicals like coriander and licorice. For others, however, this added sweetness and less bitterness may mean that they might actually like a gin for the first time. Due to the strong and remarkable scent and flavor lavender has, it is used a ton in gin, but also in fragrances.
