Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet juniper and spices, cassia and coriander — then the 22 foraged botanicals boldly rise with mint, sweet gale and wild thyme

Palate

Luxurious texture allowing rich botanical flavours to glide across — fragrant juniper with botanical intensity, each sip revealing new combinations of herbal depth

Finish

Long and powerful — gentle floral notes surface as weight fades, soft juniper, citrus, mint, wood sage and clover forming a procession of Islay flavours

Expert Review

9/10

The Botanist at 51.5% — the same thirty-one Islay botanicals at distiller's strength. Rich, viscous and complex — a deeper expression of the Islay essence with amplified herbal intensity.
