Discover The Botanist Gin Islay:

Get this The Botanist Gin Islay delivered to your door. The first and only Islay Dry Gin from Islay, Scotland, is called The Botanist Gin. A flexible dry gin that is made on the Scottish island of Islay utilizing a one-of-a-kind combination of 22 botanicals that are hand-harvested locally and responsibly. On Islay, picking these botanicals can only be done while it’s dry and is done at various times throughout the year. The botanicals are then all precisely and properly dried by our committed forager so they can be infused during our long, simmer distillation process. A stunningly rich and elegantly smooth gin with a varied flavor profile that is ideal for cocktails is the product of this extraordinary attention to detail. It is best enjoyed in a traditional Botanist & Tonic or as a wonderfully chilled martini. This botanical breath of Islay is preserved in a magnificent glass container that features the 22 hand-picked plants inscribed in Latin. When creating your special Botanist drink, we invite you to play around with the regional and seasonal flavors in your area.

Gin: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide

View All Gin Products →

Gin is a distilled spirit that primarily features grain as its base ingredient, such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat, and is characterized by the prominent use of juniper berries along with various botanicals like coriander, angelica root, and citrus peels. Typically distilled in pot stills or column stills, gin may also undergo re-distillation with these botanicals to enhance its flavor profile. Most gins are unaged; however, some styles may be briefly aged in barrels to develop unique characteristics.

The flavor and aroma profile of gin is predominantly piney and herbal due to the juniper berries, often complemented by bright citrus notes from lemon and orange peels as well as floral elements like lavender. With a light to medium body that can range from smooth to crisp depending on the production method, gin serves as a versatile base for classic cocktails such as Gin & Tonic, Martini, Negroni, and Tom Collins. Its diverse styles include London Dry gin from the United Kingdom and Jenever from the Netherlands among others.
