The Botanist Gin
$90.00
Botanicals are the very essence of gin – it's reason for being. For this, "The Botanist", small-batch, artisanal Islay gin uses nine of the classic gin aromatics – orris root, cassia bark, coriander seed, etc – and augment these with a heady harvest of 22 wild, native island botanicals, hand-picked by experts foraging from the windswept hills, peat bogs and atlantic shores of this Hebridean island of Islay.
Appearance: Quicksilver in appearance. Bouquet: An explosion of aromas. Sweet delicate menthol, apple mint, spring woodlands, juniper, coriander with aniseed undertones, lemon and orange peel, summer flowers, hone, coconut, wild mint and summer meadows.
Palate: A rich and mellow taste, cool on the entry then warmth and absolute purity as it reaches the back palate. A bewitching, delectable and luxurious gin, its citrus freshness excites and stimulates the taste buds allowing you to experience a star burst of flavours as they explode across the palate.
