About this bottle

This limited edition of The Botanist Gin was produced to commemorate the 2021 Fèis Ìle and the 10th anniversary of its initial 2011 launch. Like the standard bottling, this aged gin incorporates 22 botanicals gathered on Islay. Distilled at Bruichladdich in 2011, it has spent the last decade maturing in a premium red wine cask.

Tracey Cook 5.0

A distinctive spirit with hints of strawberries, oranges, honey, cherries, ginger, raisins, figs, plums, sultanas, lemon zest, grapefruit, juniper, cheesecake, walnuts, brown sugar, elderflower, and roses. One could easily mistake it for a wine cask whisky in a blind comparison.
