Gin was once seen as the scurge of society, but the makers of Whitley Neill gin are more interested in saving the planet!
The company, known for its unusually flavoured gins with 'nine botanicals', has teamed up with Tree Aid - a UK based charity that supports communities in The Sahel region of Africa. The charity plants trees, including the Baobab tree (which is a key ingredient in Whitley Neill Gin, and features on the label), a tree which is known for its building qualities, medicinal properties and also as a food source.
Whitley Neill is now available in Harvey Nichols and Selfridges as well as on-line and at a selection of independent merchants and bars. And the launch comes just in time for mother's day, so why not treat her to a (rather more classy than usual) bottle of Mother's Ruin this Sunday?
