The Botanist Islay Dry Gin with FREE Botanist Planter
Brand: The Botanist | Category: Dry Gin | ABV: 46% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Fresh and green, like a breeze over Islay’s wild hills. Notes of mint, juniper, citrus, and wildflowers unfold softly, evoking a garden after the rain.
Palate: Crisp, balanced, and layered. Flavors of lemon balm, coriander, apple mint, and thyme mingle with juniper brightness, creating a silky and complex mouthfeel.
Finish: Long, pure, and refreshing, with lingering herbal sweetness and a touch of coastal minerality.

Production Details:
Distilled slowly on the island of Islay in a unique Lomond still nicknamed “Ugly Betty,” The Botanist uses 22 hand-foraged botanicals found only on the island. Local foragers gather them in season, and each one is distilled individually to preserve its essence. The result is a gin that’s both deeply rooted in nature and unmistakably elegant.

Perfect For:
Slow afternoons and intentional evenings. Pour The Botanist over ice, top with tonic, and garnish with herbs from your own Botanist Planter, thyme, mint, or rosemary for a fresh twist. It’s more than a drink; it’s an experience that connects glass, garden, and spirit.

Expert Notes:
Praised as one of the world’s finest artisanal gins, The Botanist redefines what gin can be, authentic, aromatic, and alive with the character of its homeland. Critics call it “a masterpiece of terroir,” a gin that captures Islay’s wild purity in every drop.

Customer Reviews:
“The Botanist is my go-to gin. Complex but incredibly smooth.”
“The free planter was a lovely surprise, now I grow my own garnishes!”
“You can taste the craftsmanship. Every sip feels connected to nature.”

Interesting Fact:
The 22 native botanicals used in The Botanist are etched into the glass bottle, a tribute to the island flora and the foragers who make each batch possible.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve in a chilled glass with premium tonic, a slice of grapefruit, and a sprig of thyme or basil. For a more delicate serve, try it neat with a few drops of water to release its floral and herbal layers.

Distillery Background:
Crafted by Bruichladdich Distillery on the rugged Isle of Islay, The Botanist reflects a philosophy of sustainability, transparency, and respect for nature. Every bottle tells the story of the island’s land and people, a story that now continues in your home with the Botanist Planter, where the spirit of Islay can truly take root.
