This is a pure expression of the wildness at the heart of Islay. Nine classic gin spices are joined with 22 selected botanicals that grow exclusively in the island — including downy birch, creeping thistle, water mint and gorse — to produce a spirit of unbelievably nuanced aromas. The Botanist is distilled in the "Ugly Betty," a unique Lomond Pot Still. Here the essence of the blossoms and herbs are gleaned slowly and exceptionally gently — the only way to capture the scent and soul of Islay's wild state of mind. Once this extremely slow distillation is complete, drinkers can revel in a hand-crafted new and wild generation of premium gin.
