The Botanist Gin 375ml

The Botanist is an Islay dry gin from Scotland, distilled with a core of botanicals plus hand-foraged local plants from the island. It has a distinctly floral, herbal and green character that sets it apart from classic London dry styles.

Expect juniper with sweet floral notes, apple mint, spring woodland and citrus on the nose, and a soft, layered palate that finishes clean and herbal. Its botanical balance keeps it dry and versatile rather than sweet or heavy, so it holds its own with tonic, soda or vermouth.

Serve it with tonic and a sprig of mint or a slice of grapefruit, or keep it simple in a Martini or Gimlet. Serve it well chilled and garnish to suit the botanicals for the best result. The 375ml half-bottle is a good fit for trying it out or for a smaller bar.
