Botanist Islay Dry Gin 46% ABV 0.7l online kaufen

The Botanist Islay Dry Gin 46% ABV 0.7 l is an exceptional premium Scottish gin from the island of Islay, which brings together the unique flora of this Hebridean island in a complex blend. It is produced at the historic Bruichladdich Distillery, which was founded in 1881 and is renowned not only for its single malt whiskies but also for this characterful gin. A total of 31 botanicals are used in The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, including 22 wild plants from Islay, which are carefully hand-picked. The regional ingredients include, amongst others, mint, thyme, gale, broom and camomile, which are blended with classic juniper and selected citrus botanicals. Bottled at 46% ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, this Scottish Distilled Dry Gin embodies the unique combination of regional ingredients and traditional distilling craftsmanship.

What makes The Botanist Gin so special is its exceptionally slow simmer distillation, during which the botanicals are processed with particular care to preserve their delicate aromatic qualities. At the Bruichladdich Distillery, the specially adapted ‘Ugly Betty’ still is used for this purpose, enabling precise and slow distillation. The combination of 22 hand-selected Islay botanicals, traditional production methods and its unique provenance makes this gin a distinctive interpretation of the classic dry gin style. Its characteristic velvety texture, which becomes even more pronounced at low temperatures, is another of its distinctive features. The Botanist Islay Dry Gin thus embodies Scottish craftsmanship and a close connection to the natural environment of the island of Islay.

Tasting Note

Colour: Clear.

Nose: Fresh juniper, sweet citrus fruits, aromatic mint, thyme, broom, camomile and delicate Mediterranean-style herbal notes.

Palate: Silky smooth and complex, with pronounced juniper, lively citrus freshness, floral nuances, sweetish herbs and a pleasantly earthy spice.

Finish: Long-lasting, harmonious and balanced, with fresh herbal notes, subtle citrus spice and a particularly smooth texture.

The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is ideal for a classic gin and tonic, where a high-quality, neutral tonic water brings out the full range of botanicals. Recommended garnishes include fresh lemon zest, a sprig of thyme or a few mint leaves. The gin is particularly impressive in an ice-cold Dry Martini, for which it is ideally served straight from the freezer. The intense chilling gives the gin a particularly smooth, almost oily texture. Its complex herbal character also comes into its own in a Gin Fizz or a classic Negroni. As a culinary accompaniment, oysters, smoked salmon, fresh seafood or dishes featuring Mediterranean herbs harmonise beautifully with the aromatic diversity of this Scottish gin.
