375 ml - The Botanist Gin

Product description

Tasting Notes

The Botanist is a gin of layered complexity distilled using 22 local botanicals, a progressive exploration of the botanical heritage of the Scottish isle of Islay. Wild, foraged, distilled. The first and only Islay Dry Gin.

Character:The spirit is satin smooth gliding over the palate like no gin you have ever tried before. A totally seductive experience.

Colour:Quicksilver.

Nose: The aromas explode like an olfactory Aurora Borealis filling the senses with meteorites of smell sensations as they explode from the glass. Sweet delicate menthol, apple mint, spring woodlands, juniper, coriander with aniseed undertones, lemon and orange peel, a bouquet of summer flowers on the machir, honey from thistle, coconut from gorse, wild mint and summer meadows.

Palate: The taste is rich and mellow; cool on entry then as it reaches the back palate you can feel the warmth and absolute purity of slow unhurried distillation. This is a bewitching, delectable and luxurious gin; its citrus freshness excites and stimulates the taste buds allowing you to experience a starburst of flavours as they explode across the palate.

Finish:All this from a beaten up old pot still, operated by beaten up distillers on the coast of heaven.
