Located on Islay in the Inner Hebrides in Scotland, The Botanist is conceived, distilled and hand-crafted at Bruichladdich, which is a B Corp Certified Distillery and brings together 22 hand-picked botanicals foraged from Islay to create a beautifully balanced gin. Customers will be privileged to taste the newly released Aged and Rested gins. The Botanist Cask Aged Gin opens with sweet, fresh fruit flavours blended with vanilla ice cream and toasted oak. The depth of the casks and the gentle, earthy spices warm the palate whilst allowing The Botanist's floral and herbal notes to remain at the heart of the profile. In contrast, The Botanist Cask Rested Gin delivers warm spices and candied citrus peel on the nose and the palette a symphony of botanicals along with food spice, oak, fresh herbal notes, juniper, coriander and citrus.
