The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is crafted at the Bruichladdich Distillery, layered with 22 hand-foraged botanicals berries, barks, seeds, and peels collected seasonally between March and October. The recipe was developed with two local botanists and former Master Distiller Jim McEwan, for whom this gin was a true passion project. With a perfectly balanced 46% ABV, it has earned global recognition, including the Monaco Concours Femmes et Spiritueux du Monde 2011 (Diamond Prize).

Flavor Profile:

• Body: Exceptionally smooth with a viscous texture that glides across the palate.

• Nose: Fresh herbs, juniper, and citrus layered with cassia, coriander, mint, thyme, sweet gale, and camomile.

• Taste: Rich, mellow, and evolving cool at first, then warming, with citrus brightness, earthy depth, and delicate floral notes. Each sip reveals new layers.

• Finish: Relaxed and harmonious, with water mint, citrus, hawthorn, wood sage, sweet cicely, cinnamon, and light juniper. A satin-soft texture reflects its achingly slow distillation.
