The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, 700ml

Product Information

The Islay spring water, from which this gin is made, comes from "Dirty Dottie’s spring" on Octomore farm. It is used for the distillation and the bottling. [7] [8] After almost 3 years of extensive experimentation at our farm, we have meticulously combined four craft methods of flavour extraction, united by a secret modern twist to capture the best flavour experience for you. Six botanicals, among them cloves, cardamom and cassia bark, are cold-infused into a gin for seven days, creating a pale yellow gin with a bright, exotic, spicy nose – think cloves, cinnamon and candied lemon.

If you’re going to make the classic Italian drink — supposedly created in 1919 at Caffe Casoni in Florence — it makes sense to match the drink with an extra Italian gin . Portofino Gin uses botanicals grown on the hills surrounding the seaside town of Portofino in the North West of the country. It’s juniper and citrus forward, slightly bitter and floral, with bright notes of grapefruit and rose petals. All facts which make this gin excellent in a martini, but those citrus notes lend itself particularly well to a martini and adds a brightness to the gin-heavy negroni. The Botanist is slow distilled in the Lomond still "Ugly Betty," one of the last in existence. [ citation needed] The distillation takes 17 hours.

Story: With the aim of bolstering the local community and creating new jobs, the Isle of Harris Distillery opened its doors in 2015. Anderson 'Burr' Bakewell gathered likeminded people together and emarked on what was a seven-year journey to opening the distillery. His belief was that the rare and elusive spirit of the island could be captured in a bottle and shared with the world.

What to Look for in Gin StyleThis can be done with fruit, zest, herbs, spices or roots like: lavender, ginger, cinnamon, mint, rosemary, thyme or peppercorns. Just think what you could do with The Bee’s Knees which uses a honey simple syrup. It would be delicious with any of these accents. Made by historic London wine merchants Berry Bros. & Rudd, the six-botanical spirit took two years to develop with Dr David Clutton – a man who holds a PhD in gin (yep, that exists). It was worth the effort. The Botanist is a fine choice for a Gin and Tonic. GinBoss does advise not to overpower the gin’s flavor with too much or too flavorful a tonic. Taste the gin on its own and decide which tonic will enhance not replace flavor. Take it in steps. The Botanist Martini Super-citrusy in its botanical mix and its flavour – lemons, oranges and blood grapefruit – but beautifully balanced, too, this is a seamless melding of flavours.

Nicely complimented by Vermouth, it’s best served up with a twist.

If the idea of an Indian gin surprises you, then it shouldn’t; the gin wave has rippled all over the world. Brands are taking the basic juniper-based gin template and giving it a defiant twist with local ingredients. Four Pillars (Australia) uses lemon myrtle and Tasmanian pepperberry; Kongsgaard uses Danish apples; Gin Mare uses Spanish olives, citrus, basil, rosemary and thyme; Ki No Bi uses yuzu, sansho, red shiso and bamboo leaf; Glendalough is foraged from the Irish mountains around the distillery.The Botanist gin is distilled after an overnight maceration of nine base botanicals (the seed, berry, bark, root, and peel categories) in 100% wheat spirit and Islay spring water. The alcohol vapor infusion from the distillation then passes through a botanical basket containing the collected leaves and petals. This double infusion gives the Botanist gin its distinct flavor.
