The Botanist Islay Gin
A masterclass in complex distillation, The Botanist Islay Dry Gin offers a seamless blend of herbal elegance, floral depth, and coastal freshness—whether sipped neat or elevated in a craft-forward cocktail.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Distilled at the renowned Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay, this gin blends nine classic gin botanicals with 22 hand-foraged local botanicals from Islay’s wild landscape. Crafted in the rare Lomond still affectionately dubbed "Ugly Betty," it undergoes a painstaking 17-hour distillation to extract nuanced flavors.
Tasting Profile
-
Aroma & Flavor: Begins with crisp green juniper and citrus peel, rooted in a tapestry of apple mint, thyme, chamomile, heather, wild rose, and coastal herbal notes.
-
Palate: Smooth and satin-like, with layers unfolding from citrus and floral to earthy and spicy notes—coriander, cassia bark, angelica, orris, and a dash of hazelnut sweetness.
-
Finish: Long, warming, and balanced—lingering herbal echoes with a subtle coastal salinity and gentle spice.
Cocktail & Serving Uses
A brilliantly versatile gin that's equally welcome in a minimalist Martini (try a 9:1 ratio with a twist) as it is shining in a refreshing Gin & Tonic—especially with citrus or herb-forward garnishes. Its florals and structure also support creative cocktails like an Aviation or Clover Club, and even offbeat drinks like a Nori Martini or a Stinging Nettle Collins
