Whitley Neill Japanese Yuzu & White Strawberry presents gin from a bright, fruit-led angle. The focus here is the meeting of Japanese yuzu and white strawberry: one brings a lively citrus lift, the other a softer sweetness.
That contrast is what gives this gin its charm. The white strawberry side feels gentle and sweet, while the yuzu keeps the flavour fresh and vivid. At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see it as a good example of how modern gin can explore new flavour combinations while still staying crisp and refreshing.
Bottled at 41.3%, it remains a proper gin in strength, but its character is clearly shaped by fruit, citrus brightness and a clean, refreshing style.
The aroma opens with the sweetness of freshly picked white strawberries, (…)Whitley Neill Blood Orange

Whitley Neill Blood Orange is a British gin with its direction clearly stated in the name. Blood orange sits at the heart of the expression, giving this gin a citrus-led identity while remaining firmly in the gin category at 41.3% ABV.
At Drankenshop Broekmans, we see this as a good fit for customers looking for a gin with a clear fruit accent rather than a neutral or purely classic style. It is straightforward in the best sense: the blood orange theme is immediately understandable and gives the bottle its point of difference.

Whitley Neill Pink Grapefruit is a British gin built around the bright, juicy character of pink grapefruit. In the gin selection at Drankenshop Broekmans, it stands out for its lively citrus expression, softened by gentle fruitiness and a light floral touch.
Rather than leaning into heavy spice, this gin keeps its focus on freshness. Pink grapefruit, citrus peel and botanical lift form the main impression, while juniper and coriander add enough structure to keep the gin identity clearly in place.
It is also worth noting that this reference will not return once the current stock is sold out. For anyone who enjoys the fresher, fruit-driven side of Whitley Neill, this is one to pick up while it is still available.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most frequently asked questions about gin
What is gin?
Gin is a spirit distilled from neutral alcohol, to which juniper and other botanicals (herbs, spices and fruits) are added. Juniper berry is mandatory: without it, it cannot officially be called gin.
What is the difference between gin and gin?
Although they are related, there is a distinct difference. Jenever is the traditional Dutch/Belgian variety, often malty and fuller in flavour. Gin is lighter, fresher and mostly more focused on herbs and citrus.
What types of gin are there?
- London Dry Gin: the most classic and sleek style, with no added sugars.
- Plymouth Gin: a protected designation of origin, a little softer and earthier.
- Old Tom Gin: slightly sweeter, often used in historic cocktails.
- New Western or Contemporary Gin: more modern style in which juniper is less dominant and other botanicals play the main role.
How strong is gin?
Usually between 37.5% and 47% alcohol, depending on brand and style.
Where does gin originally come from?
Its roots are in the Low Countries, with gin being its forerunner. British soldiers took the idea to England, where gin became a huge hype in the 18th century.
What are botanicals?
These are the herbs, spices and fruits that give gin its flavour. Besides juniper, you often see coriander seed, angelica root, citrus peel, cinnamon, cardamom, lavender and more.
What gin do you use for a gin tonic?
It depends on your taste. A classic London Dry goes well with a neutral tonic, while a more floral gin can shine with a spicy or fruity tonic. Garnish (lemon, cucumber, rosemary, ...) finishes it off.
Which gin is suitable for drinking pure?
More and more premium gins are smooth and complex enough to drink pure or with a little ice. New Western styles and special cask-aged gins are particularly interesting to taste this way.
What is the difference between gin and vodka?
Both are neutral distillates, but with gin, botanicals are co-distilled or added, giving the drink much more flavour and character.
What is pink gin?
This is gin that has a pink colour, usually due to the addition of red fruits (strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, ...). Often also slightly sweeter in taste and popular in refreshing mixed drinks.
How do you use gin in cocktails?
Gin is hugely versatile and can be used for much more than just a gin & tonic. Well-known cocktails include the Negroni, Martini, Tom Collins, French 75 and Aviation.
The spicy base of gin makes it pair well with citrus, bitters and sparkling wine.
