It was noticed that over a couple of years, more and more consumers are trying to reduce their alcohol intake. In order to cater to them as well as teetotallers, Whitley Neill launched four new non-alcoholic gin flavours in October 2022. The new products provide consumers with alcohol-free versions of some of the brand’s popular variants – Rhubarb and Ginger, Raspberry, Blood Orange and Spiced Dry.

 

All four variants are made with Whitley Neill gin and de-alcoholised using the only spinning cone vacuum column still in the U.K. It boils liquid at a much lower temperature, which ensures that the distinctive flavours and characteristic top notes and not burnt during distillation and are retained well.
