The Botanist Rested Gin

The Botanist Cask Rested Gin embodies Bruichladdich Distillery’s Whisky-making heritage and botanical expertise. Our Islay dry gin has been matured for a minimum of six months in a selection of fine casks.

The fragrant notes of 22 hand-foraged botanicals combined with wood spices create a vibrant and complex cuvée that redefines what gin can be.

Tasting notes:
Nose: This blush liquid delivers initial notes of warming spices and candied citrus peels, a sweet, enticing bouquet of perfumed juniper, baking spices and oak. The delicate floral, herbaceous notes of The Botanist combine with the subtle hint of dried fruits from the wood.

Each nose of the glass entices you to discover a new element as candied fruits, sweet, fleshy orange, warming cinnamon, coconut and almonds emerge, complimenting the classic juniper style.

Taste: On the palate, the softness of the spirit is a delight. The gentle elegance of the cask rested Botanist holds a complexity and balance that is a joy to taste.

The cask influence shapes the spirit, bringing extra viscosity to the palate while the symphony of botanicals combines with the spices of the wood to create a deep mouthfeel. Captivating oak, expert distillation and botanicals combined with the influence of wood and time create a magical experience.

Finish: On the finish, the oak influence begins to fade as the heart of The Botanist reveals itself in a rush of fresh herbal notes, juniper, coriander and citrus.

Character: The complexity of The Botanist is wonderfully enhanced by its resting period in the finest quality casks.

There is a vibrancy and excitement about this exceptional spirit that puts it in a territory all of its own.
