About The Botanist
The Botanist is a gin distilled on Islay using twenty-two botanicals foraged on the island alongside nine standard ones. It is made at the Bruichladdich distillery, which Rémy Cointreau acquired in 2012 for about £58 million. The foraging is done by hand each season, which limits how much can be produced in any year.
