One of my favorite gins of all time. For me it’s the perfect balance of floral forwardness and dryness, without losing the original gin / juniper berry

Product description
The Botanist Gin is the first and only Islay Dry Gin from Islay, Scotland. A versatile dry gin that is crafted using a unique combination of 22 botanicals that are hand-foraged locally and sustainably on the Scottish island of Islay. These botanicals are picked at varying times of the year, and can only be picked when it’s dry—a frequent challenge on Islay! Our dedicated forager then carefully and meticulously dry all of the botanicals in order to be infused during our slow, simmer distillation process. This incredible attention to detail results in a beautifully complex and elegantly smooth gin with a versatile flavor profile that is perfect for cocktails. This botanical breath of Islay is captured in a stunning glass bottle that features the 22 hand-picked botanicals etched in Latin and is best served in a classic Botanist & Tonic, or as a perfectly chilled martini. We encourage you to experiment with the local & seasonal flavors around you when making your unique Botanist cocktail.

Jimmy Verified BuyerVerified BuyerAlistair Verified BuyerVerified BuyerLove this one.
John The Botanist is the only gin to drink, straight with an ice cube, for a dash of water. To mix it with tonic or anything else is a sin.
Consuelo It was more fruity than most gina, but it was very nice.
Anne Verified BuyerVerified BuyerMy absolute favorite Gin
Sofia Velez. Verified BuyerVerified BuyerThis is an AMAZING gin. You can actually taste the different botanicals that went into its production. Because of these botanicals, I would pair this gin with tonic water, club soda, or anything else that doesn't compete with a different flavor. For instance, this does not go well with Cassis. The flavors get all mixed up and it's weird.
Matt It’s just Ok gin, I prefer Stray Dog Wild Gin much better
Guitar George Great flavor, complex yet balanced. One of my favorites!
Scott Verified BuyerVerified BuyerAwesome Gin delicious!
Chantel Verified BuyerVerified BuyerBought this as a gift for my husband as he enjoys his Gin beverages. He liked this one, but has others he prefers over it.
