Product Information

You can’t really go wrong with any of the Whitley Neill gins, they’ve got a gin for every occasion you could think of. Hand-crafted in Aberdeen with a blend of Scots pine, Tuscan juniper, grapefruit peel, lemon peel, pink peppercorns, orris root, angelica, mace, cardamom, lemongrass, kaffir lime, almonds, coriander and lavender, LoneWolf Cloudy Lemon Gin has a standout bottle design with its signature wolf logo and a style rooted in punk. These go accompanied by some zesty refreshing citrus notes and hints of red fruit making for a bit sweeter version of the Sicilian Lemon gin. Whitley Neill is quite a popular gin brand and has been around for an incredible amount of time already. Their gin distillery has been in the family for 8 generations and over these years they’ve come up with an amazing range of gins.

The lemongrass in this gin is combined with ginger to make it a warm variation to the other lemon-based gins out on the market already.The Lemon Sherbet is a zest and sweet variation to this smooth London Dry gin. They basically use all the same botanicals as in the London Dry gin but with a lot of added lemons to the distillation. Flavoursmiths offers another Lemon gin with amazing lemons from Sicilia. Flavoursmiths is known for its wide range of flavored gins ranging from Parma Violet to Pink Grapefruit to Raspberry to Cucumber gin. Lemon Grove gin is a gin from a brand called The English Drinks Company. This brand only started distilling gin in 2016, but they’ve already managed to come up with a great arsenal of different gins, their first gin being a Cucumber gin. As you may have noticed, they use a ton of different lemon parts to really capture the lemon flavors as much as possible. We’re sure they will find the right answer to scaling up, as they are as uncompromising in their testing of their products as they are in the flavour of them. They use their their sister brewery’s expertise and testing capabilities to evaluate and analyse every element using state of the art equipment that 90% of distilleries do not have in house, from flavour consistency to degradation of compounds through oxidisation… it’s all been looked at, researched, catalogued and mitigated against. Lone Wolf Gin to taste…

This can, however, be a good thing. Especially for people who are not too big on the whole piney taste juniper offers, this gin could be a great first gin to use in their gin & tonic and to get used to the taste gins offer. Flavored gins are becoming more and more popular every day for the last few years. A few very popular flavored gins are for instance blood orange gins, pink gins, and violet gins. While their London dry gin was only crafted recently (later than the Lemon Grove gin), juniper notes are still present enough in the Lemon Grove gin to convince gin lovers to use this spirit for their gin & tonic.While the team are realistic about long term demand forcing them to scale up production - the gin is currently made via a one shot method using their third still (small for them, but over 400lt in its own right) - one wonders just what a concentrated process might involve, as it takes almost 18 grapefruits per batch as it is! Lone Wolf was one of the most hotly anticipated launches of the year, but since its launch in May 2017 it has remained a shadowy figure of the night, quietly growing in stature and confidence, but not quite revealing all. Yet.

The spirit begins with a mix of 50% wheat and 50% barley that spends 4 to 5 days fermenting. The team’s experience as brewers doesn’t just comes handy here, but is obvious in each element of the production of their wash, in that they even use a bespoke BrewDog yeast to create the desired alcohol and flavour combination. Aside from this amazing gin, they also distill a few other flavored gins like Murcian Orange gin and Rhubarb and Rose gin. The citrus notes in this gin are quite strong and will feel amazing on the tongue. It still remains a gin with its strong juniper flavors which means that this drink is great for both people who enjoy a good gin and for people who want to try something different from their traditional gin.

LoneWolf

This way you get a nice lemon-flavored gin that is somewhat more crisp, sweet, and refreshing than a typical gin, while the strong juniper notes are still very much present. Both the Sicilian Lemon and the Lemon Peel variants are amazing options if you’re looking for a lemon-based variation to a traditional gin.
