Whitley Neill Gin is an upmarket brand of gin distributed by Whitley Neill Limited, launched in 2005. It is produced in small batches in an antique copper pot still,^{[citation needed]} and contains two African botanicals—baobab fruit and Cape gooseberries. Of its taste, the Liquor Snob in June 2004 said: "Exotic is the word of the day. Citrus came to play first, followed by a fresh, subtle, complex finish." In its 2008 Hot List, The Daily Mail wrote: "Not only does it taste delicious, made from the citrusy fruit pulp of the baobab tree and cape gooseberries, but 5 per cent of profits are donated to Tree Aid, a charity that helps some of the poorest families in Africa by planting trees."^[1]

The gin, distilled near Birmingham, England, is sold in a squat bottle with a stylized baobob tree on its label. Its claim: "inspired by Africa, made in England."
