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.

Tonya Verified BuyerAug 12 2021Verified BuyerThis was delightful. I had a gin and tonic so both the gin and the tonic water were Botanical and it was a delightful drink.

Mike Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 12 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comBotanist dry gin is our mainstay for gin and tonics and gin martinis. It complements especially well with lemon, lime, and herbs in our drinks. (We also enjoy your flavored gins which provide seasonal variation
Matt Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 4 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comI mix The Botanist in all my gin cocktails and it is always a hit. I especially enjoy my Botanist Martinis....just a splash of dry vermouth with gorgonzola filled jalapeño olives!! It is the perfect martini!!!
Kevin Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 4 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comThe Botanist Gin pleasantly surprised my taste senses because it did not overwhelm me with a taste of pine tree with too much Juniper. It has become my go-to gin for every occasion!
Danny Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 4 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comI generally include Botanist in a cocktail, although occasionally up on rocks does occur. I like the gin being from Scotland. I use Botanist to cool my body on a hot day, and cool my mind on a crazy day. I wear my vacation hat from Mexico, sit on my deck on the farm in the woods, and have my Botanist & Tonic on a sunny afternoon. That's how I feel about Botanist, like I'm on vacation.
Jerrod Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 3 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comLove the balance of this taste gin. Complex but subtle. Good in a G&T or a number of great cocktails!!
Kathy Reviewed at thebotanist.comJun 3 2021Reviewed at thebotanist.comI keep a bootle in the freezer and enjoy it neat of an evening in the summer on the deck. Amazing, refreshing, more-ish
About the brand
Try these recipes from The Botanist
The Botanist Martini
Elevate your martini with The Botanist Gin, the first and only Islay Dry Gin from Islay, Scotland.
The Bianco Negroni
This 3 ingredient drink is as refreshing (and Italian) as it gets. The Negroni is, quite simply, a perfect cocktail. With equal parts Gin, Vermouth, and Bitter Aperitif, it couldn't be easier to make. Intended to be sipped, it's refreshing on a hot day and the perfect pre-dinner drink. Bitter, dry, and refreshing all at once, this variation of the classic Negroni cocktail uses blanc vermouth and a bitter aperitif like Suze.
The Pomegranate Martini
Steeping fresh pomegranate in The Botanist Gin gives this cocktail its distinct color and flavor. We promise it's worth the wait.
The Bee's Knees
The phrase the “bee's knees" was used in Prohibition times as slang to mean “the best." This cocktail, a gin sour that's believed to have been created around that time, used lemon and honey to mask the harsh smell of bathtub gin. There are many ways to put your own local & seasonal twist on this classic cocktail, including using local honey and steeping with local herbs (lavender, sage, to name a few).
