The Botanist Gin (750Ml)

Description

Introducing The Botanist, the Islay Dry Gin. Distilling is a way of life at Bruichladdich Distillery, where 22 botanicals hand-foraged on the island join nine classic gin aromatics. 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 fresh and herbaceous with a complex bouquet that unfolds in layers. Juniper is front and center, allowing a smattering of botanicals to sing. Think sweet citrus, cool mint, and chamomile, with a faint earthiness that grounds the aromatics. On the palate, the gin is rich yet mellow, the botanicals arranged with precision so that citrus freshness leads, while mint and an earthy herbaceousness follow. The finish is balanced and fairly long, with a lingering herbal echo.

Is it overhyped or just good gin? The Botanist Gin has picked up plenty of industry recognition over the years. Bruichladdich’s home on the windswept Hebridean island of Islay shapes the spirit’s 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.
