The Botanist Islay Dry Gin 700ml

TASTE NOTE
SATIN SMOOTH VISCOSITY, GLIDES ACROSS THE PALATE.
BODY
Satin smooth; it glides across the palate. The viscosity of the liquid is exceptional.

NOSE
Immediately, a bouquet of herbal freshness, juniper and sweet citrus come to the fore. Allow a little time to open, and the sweet, spicy and earthy notes of cassia and coriander set a base for the delicate complexity of the Islay 22. The scent of Islay botanicals gently rises, winding their wild aromas of mint, thyme, sweet gale, gorse, camomile – a green freshness – through the heart of The Botanist.

TASTE
Rich and mellow, cool on entry, then warming across the palate, stimulating the taste buds with a round mouthfeel and citrus freshness. The balance and complexity are distinctive, with sweet and earthy notes combining with delicate floral and herbal notes of the Islay 22. Each sip reveals deeper layers and more complex combinations of delicate flavours. This complexity and versatility perfectly suit a creative foraged serve of your own.

FINISH
Relaxed and balanced. Water mint, hawthorn, wood sage, sweet cicely, cinnamon, citrus, soft juniper – a harmonious combination held together with a gentle, satin-soft texture. The viscosity from an achingly slow distillation brings out the delicate essence of Islay, expressing a different balance of flavour, a different combination of botanicals, upon every taste.
