Crafted at the Bruichladdich Distillery, The Botanist Gin is a tribute to the rich natural landscape of Islay, where each botanical is carefully harvested by hand.

The finish is clean, smooth, and slightly herbal, leaving a lasting impression that lingers long after the last sip.

Ideal for sipping neat, with a premium tonic, or as the base for a sophisticated cocktail, The Botanist Gin elevates any occasion. Whether enjoyed as part of a classic gin and tonic or in more creative concoctions, this gin brings a touch of elegance and refinement to your glass.

For gin lovers seeking a more nuanced, herbal gin, The Botanist Gin offers a taste of Islay’s natural wonders. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate artisanal craftsmanship and an exceptional gin experience.
