The Botanist Islay Gin Tasting note

By Miguel in Tasting , Bruichladdich

“Lots of herbs in this gin. Quite herbal and quite powerful.”

77
The Botanist Islay Gin
Created at the Bruichladdich distillery, this superb Islay gin was distilled in the 'ugly betty' still described as "an oversized upside-down dustbin made of copper" by Tom Morton. Perhaps the best looking packaging we've ever seen for a gin - it's not all style and no substance either. This is a world-class gin, at a proper abv. A huge 31 botanicals go into The Botanist, including 22 native to Islay (the Juniper used is wild Islay Juniper).

This dram has a white-like color.

Nose (76): average. juniper, herbs, citrus.

Palate (79): powerful. juniper, herbs, earth, citrus, spices.

Finish (77): average. juniper, citrus, herbs.

So based on other whiskies I have already tasted I rate this The Botanist Islay Gin with 77 points over 100.
