The Botanist

The Bruichladdich distillery where this gin is now made is located in the Scottish Island named Islay. The name of the distillery is translated from scottish gaelic as “edge of the coast”. It was built in 1881 by William, John and Robert Harveys. The whiskey industry has always been in crisis, which has led to the closure of this distillery. However, wine merchants Simon Coughlin and Mark Raynier acquired the distillery. And thanks to new ideas and thoughts, the first dry gin of “the island of whiskey” was created. More than 31 species of herbs growing on the island are used for producing this gin (apple, mint, thyme, tansy). They are collected from March to October, dried naturally to preserve their aroma, and then distilled in spring water. The idea for the name Gin was suggested by botanists. According to chief distiller Adam Hannett, they create more than just a drink. The Botanist represents Scotland, the place from where it is originated, conveying to the world its spirit, its unique connection to nature.
