Bruichladdich The Botanist Islay Aged Gin is aged for three years in previously whisky casks.
It's time to rediscover gin: The Botanist Islay Aged 3 Years is no ordinary dry gin.
While cask-aged gin isn't a new concept, The Botanist Cask Islay Aged Gin aims to go one step further, offering a new spirits experience dedicated to discerning diners and bartenders who want to delight their palates.
A masterful combination of the rugged beauty of Islay, the botanical expertise of the Bruichladdich distillery, and the heritage of the finest whisky cask maturation.
The Botanist Islay Cask Aged Gin combines six types of casks and is aged for a minimum of three years.
After three years of aging in select Islay oak casks, a complex interplay of aromas develops: complex, smooth, with depth and character.
Thanks to the cask aging, the gin acquires a velvety texture, enriched with warm notes of vanilla and wood.
These give it a subtle depth that distinguishes it from classic London Dry Gins, so much so that it is immediately considered among the best gins and spirits in the world.
Aromas of honey, caramel, and toasted spices enrich the taste experience, without overpowering the characteristic herbaceous and citrus freshness and hints of juniper.
With an alcohol content of 46% ABV, this premium gin is powerful and perfectly balanced.
Enjoy it neat at room temperature or in cocktails such as a Barrel-Aged Negroni or a Gin Old Fashioned.
Even on the rocks, accompanied by a sprig of rosemary or an orange peel, it releases its full potential.
A truly elegant pleasure, excellent paired with cigars!
Tasting Notes:
Aroma: A seductive bouquet of candied citrus peel, warm spices, juniper, delicate oak, and floral and herbaceous notes, complemented by a hint of dried fruit.
Flavor: Orange, cinnamon, coconut, and almonds add a whole new dimension to the classic juniper profile.
Finish: The oak character is delicate, leaving the finish with fresh notes of aromatic herbs, citrus, coriander, and a clear and elegant juniper finish.
Our recommendation: This Islay Aged Gin is best enjoyed neat or over ice, garnished with a slice of orange.
