The Botanist Cask Aged Gin embodies Bruichladdich Distillery’s Whisky-making heritage and botanical expertise. Matured for a minimum of 3 years in a selection of fine casks.

Nose - Initial notes of fresh, ripe fruits, candied orange and light juniper. Clean, crisp apple and watermelon and tropical fruits of mango, peach and dried banana mingle with sweet, sugared almonds and lightly toasted oak. An intricate combination of floral botanicals, juniper, brown sugar and leathery tobacco, sweet pastry, ginger and nutmeg from the heart of the wood speak of the harmony and integration of the oak and spirit.

Palate - The mouthfeel is creamy and viscous. Sweet, fresh fruit blends with vanilla ice cream with toasted oak. The length and complexity on the palate is a testament to the time in oak and the careful selection of casks to compliment the complex botanicals and the wonderful balance they possess. The depth of the oak and the gentle earthy spices warm the palate while allowing the floral and herbal notes of the Botanist to remain at the heart of the profile.

Finish - The tropical fruit notes linger. Oaky vanilla fades and grilled pineapple and mango puree last on the palate with subtle hints of crushed coriander, candied orange, fragrant juniper and sweet cassia.
