The Botanist Gin is distilled at the Bruichladdich distillery on Islay, the southernmost island of the Inner Southern Hebrides of Scotland. It is made using 22 hand-foraged botanicals from the area and as a result, it is an extremely versatile base spirit that provides a number of flavor profiles (herbal, sweet, citrus, floral, or aromatic). For those who prefer cocktails with a savoury twist, The Heirloom uses tomatoes and sea salt for a tangy yet crisp drink.
