The Botanist Islay Dry Gin

The Botanist is crafted by Bruichladdich Distillery on the Isle of Islay, drawing inspiration from the island’s rugged landscape and rich botanical heritage. Introduced in 2011, the gin is celebrated for its complex flavour profile, achieved through the careful infusion of local hand-foraged botanicals alongside traditional gin ingredients.

This dry gin features 22 botanicals, including 9 that are unique to Islay, such as bog myrtle, heather, and juniper picked from the island. The result is a crisp, aromatic spirit with layers of floral, herbal, and citrus notes balanced by a smooth, clean finish that reflects Islay’s wild character.
