Overview

The Botanist starts as a wheat spirit distilled at Bruichladdich on Islay, using 22 wild botanicals hand-foraged from the island's coastline and moorland alongside nine classic gin aromatics like juniper and coriander—then, for this Cask Rested expression, it settles into a selection of fine Islay casks for at least six months. The wood adds warming spice and oak viscosity to the usual candied citrus and floral notes, while the finish still snaps back to fresh juniper and herbs. Try it neat or over ice with an orange slice.
Tasting notes

Nose: This blush liquid delivers initial notes of warming spices and candied citrus peels, a sweet, enticing bouquet of perfumed juniper, baking spices and oak. The delicate floral, herbaceous notes of The Botanist combine with the subtle hint of dried fruits from the wood.

Each nose of the glass entices you to discover a new element as candied fruits, sweet, fleshy orange, warming cinnamon, coconut and almonds emerge, complimenting the classic juniper style.

Taste: On the palate, the softness of the spirit is a delight. The gentle elegance of the cask rested Botanist holds a complexity and balance that is a joy to taste.

The cask influence shapes the spirit, bringing extra viscosity to the palate while the symphony of botanicals combines with the spices of the wood to create a deep mouthfeel. Captivating oak, expert distillation and botanicals combined with the influence of wood and time create a magical experience.
