The Botanist Islay Cask Rested Gin (70cl)

A gin made at Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay, using the distillery's Lomond pot still and 22 wild botanicals hand-foraged from the island's coastlines, hillsides and bogs. The Cask Rested edition rests the gin for a minimum of six months in Islay whisky casks previously used for Bruichladdich's unpeated single malt. The cask adds maritime character, vanilla, oak and coastal salinity while keeping the foraged botanical foundation. On the nose there are florals and herbs with subtle maritime and oak notes; the palate is more complex, with vanilla, soft oak and coastal salinity; the finish is longer and more sustained.
