A Botanical Treasure from the Isle of Islay:

Made at Bruichladdich distillery, renowned for its artisanal approach and its philosophy of "progressive Hebridean distillers", The Botanist Gin is distilled slowly and with meticulous care in a narrow-necked Lomond still, nicknamed "Ugly Betty".
This delicate process allows for the best extraction of the essential oils and unique flavours of each botanical, preserving their freshness and intensity.

The Botanist Gin is an incredibly versatile gin, perfect for enjoying neat over ice to fully appreciate its aromatic richness.
