◆WHITLEY NEILL

The UK's No. 1 premium gin, Whitley Neale, which has been selected as "Britain's most beloved premium gin" for three consecutive years, was founded by Johnny Neale, a direct descendant of a family of distillers that has been in business for eight generations since 1762. It is brewed at The City of London Distillery, the first and only gin distillery in London, which boasts over 200 years of history, and produces a genuine "London dry gin made in London."

Johnny Neal

It has won over 65 awards at international competitions such as the IWSC (International Wine & Spirits Competition) and SWSC (San Francisco World Spirits Competition). Despite its prowess, it is reasonably priced and an excellent and versatile gin that can be enjoyed at home as a daily spirit or as a cocktail base at a bar.
And Spirits will begin selling the following three main Whitley Neil brands as the official importer.

◆DEAD MAN'S FINGERS

The brand was born when Nathan Hayes, founder of the brand, decided to create an original rum for the famous seafood restaurant "THE RUM & CRAB SHACK" in St. Ives, Cornwall. This restaurant is especially famous for its crab dishes, but the long finger-like crab gills are called "DEAD MAN'S FINGERS" from an old legend that "if you eat them, you will die", and the brand name comes from this. The skeleton on the bottle is said to be the last person to eat DEAD MAN'S FINGERS.

The slogan "GIVE TRADITION THE FINGER" conveys the meaning, "Don't be bound by tradition, but do what you want to do with a more free spirit."
Dead Man's Fingers Spiced Rum is a somewhat challenging and innovative flavour that gets us excited about how we might drink it and who we might drink it with.

DEAD MAN'S FINGERS SPICED RUM

This one-of-a-kind spiced rum combines flavors of saffron cake, a local dessert, and THE RUM & CRAB SHACK's signature Pedro Ximenez ice cream, with notes of vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, caramel, and a hint of orange.
