The Botanist Gin (750Ml)

Introducing Islay's First Ever Gin, The Botanist Gin. Distilling is a way of life for the head distiller, Adam Hannett. That's why you get a meticulously crafted, botanically-powered core gin! Only that kind of care can make such a bottle.

On the nose, it is floral and herbaceous with a complex bouquet that unfolds in layers. Juniper is front and center, allowing a smattering of botanicals to sing. Think citrus peel, citrus blossom, and wild herbs. There is a whisper of salinity and a faint earthiness that grounds the aromatics. On the palate, the gin is dry and textured, the botanicals arranged with precision so that citrus and floral notes lead, while a green, almost savory herbaceousness follows. The finish is long and clean, with a lingering herbal echo and a soft peppery lift.

Is it overhyped or just good gin? The Botanist Gin is a highly decorated one, having snagged Gold medals at the World Gin Awards. The distillery’s heritage as a craft producer on a windswept island informs the spirit’s saline and herbal character, and the use of local botanicals creates a sense of place that is unmistakable in the glass. If you want to experience that yourself, grab a bottle now.
