As the name suggests, discussing The Botanist is first and foremost a discussion around the botanicals they use and how they distil them. To begin with, the team source 9 classic botanicals (juniper berries, angelica root, cassia bark, cinnamon bark, coriander seed, lemon peel, orange peel, liquorice root and orris root) from around the world. They then bring together a further 22 locally sourced botanicals, hand picked by foragers who search across the hills, bogs and shores of Islay to find apple mint birch leaves, downy birch, bog myrtle leaves, sweet chamomile, creeping thistle flowers, elderflower, gorse flowers, heather flowers, hawthorn flowers, juniper (prostrate) berries, Lady’s Bedstraw flowers, lemon balm, meadowsweet, spearmint leaves, mugwort leaves, red clover flowers, sweet cicely leaves, tansy, thyme leaves, water mint leaves, white clover and finally wood sage leaves.
Dry, juniper with sappy pine dominating but with an integrated herbal complexity and faint liquorice sweetness.
