Whitley Neill Japanese Yuzu & White Strawberry Gin is the latest addition to the brand's product portfolio that's crafted with spring in mind to get consumers excited about the upcoming season. The spirit is crafted with the brand's premium gin as the base, and boasts notes of fresh Japanese yuzu for a kick of citrus alongside white strawberries for the perfect balance. The spirit is best paired with tonic to further accentuate the flavor of yuzu or paired with sparkling wine for an effervescent gin spritz.
Group Marketing Manager at Halewood Artisanal Spirits Poppy Williams spoke on the Whitley Neill Japanese Yuzu & White Strawberry Gin saying, "Japanese flavours, from matcha and miso to yuzu and nashi, have seen a real surge in popularity over recent years. As a brand dedicated to exploring unique flavour combinations from global influences, we were inspired to see how we could incorporate these exciting flavours into our range. The pairing of yuzu and white strawberry is perfect balance of sweet and citrus, which we’re confident our customers will love. Plus, as with all Whitley Neill gins, it is extremely versatile, and can be enjoyed simply with a mixer or in a variety of cocktails."
