Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin 70cl

If your usual gin feels a little too serious, this one shows up in purple and steals the show. Whitley Neill Parma Violet Gin takes that nostalgic Parma Violet candy flavour and drops it into a proper London gin base, so you get floral sweetness, crisp juniper, and a clean citrus snap all in one pour.

• Nose: Violet sweets, light lavender, bright lemon peel, and a clear juniper hit underneath.
• Taste: Sweet floral candy up front, then juniper, coriander spice, and a zesty citrus lift that keeps it from feeling cloying.
• Finish: Lingering violet and soft spice, with a fresh, dry-ish citrus fade that invites the next sip.

This is a flavoured gin that doesn’t forget it’s gin. The violet note is bold and nostalgic, but the juniper and spice keep it grounded, which is exactly why it works so well in cocktails. Swap it into a Gin & Tonic when you want something more playful than your standard citrus-and-juniper routine. It also shines in a French 75, where the florals pop and the citrus ties everything together.

Whitley Neill’s thing is making gin that feels like a detour worth taking, not a gimmick. Parma Violet is for the curious drinker who wants big flavour without a sugar-bomb finish, and for the home bartender who loves bottles that make guests ask, “What is that?”

Fun Fact: Whitley Neill is a family-run British gin name with distilling roots that go back generations (eight, if you’re counting).
