Whitley Neill gin has expanded its portfolio in the UK with a series of new ready-to-drink (RTD) premium refreshments that will make it easier and more delicious than ever for consumers to enjoy a cocktail this spring and summer.
The drinks come in two new flavors including Rhubarb & Ginger Gin and Yuzu & White Strawberry Gin with Lemonade, which both come in with an 8.3% ABV. The drinks each have a bright flavor profile with a refreshing finish to work well for consumers who want to enjoy premium taste without having to do any mixing.
Sales & Marketing Director at Halewood Artisanal Spirits James Stocker spoke on the Whitley Neill gin RTDs saying, "Whitley Neill has always been about bringing exceptional flavours to the world, and RTDs are a natural next step. They give both loyal fans and new customers an easy, high quality way to enjoy our gins, wherever they are. With summer around the corner, this is the perfect time to launch – there are so many occasions where it’s easier to grab a canned drink than mix your own."
