Like the original, it starts with a neutral grain spirit and a bill of 31 botanicals: nine classic gin botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica, orris root, cassia, cinnamon, liquorice, lemon peel and orange peel, plus 22 wild botanicals hand-foraged on Islay such as gorse flower, heather, apple mint, bog myrtle, sweet cicely, meadowsweet, lemon balm, wild thyme and water mint. Everything is slow-distilled in Bruichladdich's Lomond still, nicknamed Ugly Betty, over roughly 17 hours, then bottled unaged at 50% ABV (100 proof) instead of the standard 46%. The higher strength, built with bartenders in mind, carries more botanical oil and a weightier texture. Tasting notes from the producer run to fresh juniper and green pine with lemon zest, apple mint and herbal gorse on the nose; juniper, meadow herbs, wildflower honey and citrus peel with warm root spice on the palate; and a long finish of mint, bright citrus and a mineral edge. It holds its shape in a Martini or Negroni and makes a muscular Gin and Tonic with a light, dry tonic. 750ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy The Botanist Islay Dry Gin Distiller's Strength online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Botanist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50842450231552,"sku":"C0010827L","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/the-botanist-islay-dry-gin-distiller-s-strength_af951436-8dba-4800-8eb7-3b4c67669c35.jpg?v=1793385613","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/the-botanist-islay-dry-gin-distiller-s-strength","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
