Discover the essence of Scotland’s Isle of Islay with The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, a meticulously crafted spirit that captures the rugged beauty and diverse flora of its native landscape. Distilled at the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery, The Botanist stands out for its unique blend of 22 hand-foraged local botanicals, complemented by nine classic gin botanicals.
In the glass, The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is crystal clear, offering an inviting aroma that reveals a complex bouquet of earthy herbs, sweet citrus, and delicate floral notes. The nose is greeted with juniper and a harmonious mix of Islay botanicals, including wild mint, chamomile, and heather, each contributing to its distinct profile.
On the palate, this gin delivers a smooth and well-balanced experience. It starts with a juniper-forward flavor, evolving into layers of lemon balm, coriander, and sweet cicely, accented by a refreshing touch of mint and a whisper of spice. The mouthfeel is exceptionally smooth, a testament to the quality and craftsmanship behind its production.
The finish is clean and slightly dry, with lingering hints of floral sweetness and a gentle botanical complexity that invites further exploration. Perfect for a classic gin and tonic, a refined martini, or any creative cocktail, The Botanist Islay Dry Gin brings a taste of the wild and natural beauty of Islay to your glass.
