The Botanist Islay Dry Gin Review
Already notable for being made by Scotland’s Bruichladdich Distillery, this gin also stands out for the 22 hand-foraged ingredients included in its botanical bill. It exhibits a vibrant, herbaceous nose, rich in lemon balm, juniper, and wildflower aromas. Each sniff is like a springtime walk through a Scottish meadow. The palate mixes bursts of citrus with a plethora of freshly picked herbs. This gin is fully deserving of its Botanist title.
