The Botanist Islay Dry Gin 70cl

The Botanist is a gin of layered complexity, a progressive exploration of the botanical heritage of our isle of Islay. 22 hand-foraged local botanicals delicately augment nine berries, barks, seeds and peels during an achingly slow distillation. The first Islay dry gin is a rare expression of the heart and soul of our remote Scottish Island.

• Tasting Notes: Sweet, delicate menthol, apple mint, spring woodlands, juniper, coriander with aniseed undertones, lemon and orange peel, a bouquet of flowers from Machir Bay, honey from thistle, coconut from gorse, water mint and summer meadows.
• This first and only Islay Dry Gin is a rare expression of the heart and soul of the remote Scottish Island.
• Palate – Cool at first. It quickly mellows out, warmth growing with citrus keeping it fresh throughout. Finish – Long, with a good spice.
• Serving suggestions: Enjoy this dry gin in its experimental nature. The Botanist gin encourages drinkers to explore flavours and #BeTheBotanist with seasonal and foraged garnishes or cocktails. Production: Simmer distilled dry gin, under very low pressure for a rare explosion of flavour
