Forthis, "The Botanist", small-batch, artisanal Islay gin, we usenine of the classic gin aromatics – orris root, cassia bark,coriander seed to name but three – and augment these with aheady harvest of twenty-two wild, native island botanicals,hand-picked by our expert foraging team from the windswepthills, peat bogs and Atlantic shores of this Hebridean island ofIslay. This truly seasonal and exotic cocktail is then slow"simmer" distilled in our unique and cherished lomond pot-still, "Ugly Betty". Betty prefers to work at low-pressure andwon’t be rushed.
