The Botanist Islay Artisan Dry Gin

Aromas of bright citrus, cinnamon and cardamom. The palate echo's the aromas and adds fresh notes of lily and freesia on a creamy texture with a slight sweet mint finish. D&M Tasting Notes

This was a unique project for our head distiller at the time,  Jim McEwan. Jim says he had to "learn a new dance" with Betty, and none of us knew what to expect from that first, achingly-slow 17 hour distillation. The result: a highly distinctive, complex, floral gin with outstanding finish and impeccable provenance. In an age of re-badged industrial gins, the Botanist stands out as a truly artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted labor of love and distiller's art. A breath of botanical Islay in every glass. The Spirit is satin smooth gliding over the palate like no gin you have ever tried before. A totally seductive experience the aromas explode like an olfactory Aurora Borealis filling the senses with meteorites. The smell sensations as they explode from the glass sweet delicate menthol, apple, mint, spring wood lands, juniper, coriander with aniseed undertones, lemon and orange peel. Distillery Notes  46% ABV
