The Botanist Gin: Review & Tasting Notes

About The Botanist Gin
The Botanist Gin was launched in 2010 by the Bruichladdich Distillery which is famed for its whisky. The gin features 31 botanicals, including 9 traditional botanicals that form the base flavour of the gin and 22 botanicals that are foraged on the island of Islay in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The gin is distilled in-house at low pressure in one of the few remaining copper Lomond Stills (which they have named 'Ugly Betty') and the lengthy process takes 17 hours per batch.
The Gin Guide Review The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is clearly a labour of love, from hand-picking 22 different botanicals to the 17 hour distillation. The 31 botanicals (of which the 22 Islay botanicals are embossed in the glass of their redesigned bottle), are masterfully well balanced in this complex, herbal and floral gin. The Botanist gin is exquisite and it makes an outstanding gin and tonic. - Paul Jackson, 2015 |
