Tasting Notes

Nose

Candied elderflower punch — unmistakable and immediate, flicks of grassiness, orange blossom and honey, the floral character dominating the traditional gin botanicals underneath

Palate

Floral and sweet like a summer evening — honey and cinnamon rounding up the sweetness, orange blossom citrusy element, juniper laying a foundation but never competing with the elderflower, gentle spice from coriander and cassia

Finish

Sweet and floral fade — elderflower lingering with honey warmth, moderate length, cassia cinnamon providing a gentle spicy counterpoint, clean and pleasant

Expert Review

6/10

Named after John James Whitley, great-grandfather of 8th-generation distiller Johnny Neill — the same family behind Whitley Neill. JJ Whitley is the sister spirits brand, inspired by the English countryside where JJ would have played. Elderflower dominates with candied sweetness, orange blossom and honey, grounded by classic gin botanicals. A summer evening in rural England at a remarkably accessible price point.
