How this product is made
What sets The Botanist Gin apart is the wide array of botanicals used in its production. There are 22 hand-foraged and locally sourced botanicals, each carefully chosen to capture the essence of Islay’s rugged and diverse landscape.
The exact botanical recipe is a closely guarded secret, but it includes a variety of herbs, flowers, and berries, along with traditional gin botanicals like juniper berries, coriander seeds, and angelica root. Some of the unique island botanicals may include heather, thistle, gorse flowers, and various types of mint.
The production process involves copper pot distillation, which is a traditional method that allows the flavors of the botanicals to infuse and interact with the base spirit. This careful distillation process results in a gin with a rich and complex flavor profile.
Technical Details
Nose: The aroma is a delightful blend of floral and herbal notes, with hints of citrus and spices.
Palate: On the palate, The Botanist Gin showcases a harmonious interplay of botanical flavors. There are prominent floral and herbaceous notes, followed by a burst of citrus zest, and a delicate spiciness.
Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering sense of the Islay landscape and the intricate botanical mix.
Alcohol Content:
The Botanist Gin typically has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 46%, which is higher than the standard 40% ABV found in many gins. This higher ABV contributes to the gin’s bold and full-bodied character.
