The Botanist Islay Dry Gin

Detailed Description

Created at the Bruichladdich distillery, this superb Islay gin was distilled in the ‘ugly betty’ still described as “an oversized upside-down dustbin made of copper” by Tom Morton. Perhaps the best looking packaging we’ve ever seen for a gin – it’s not all style and no substance either. This is a world-class gin, at a proper abv.

Palate: Chill at the entry, warm at the back palate. Citrus freshness, and a starburst of other flavors.

Finish: Long, spicy.
