Taste Notes
Discover the bolder side of The Botanist
Incredible viscosity and rich mouthfeel, with a sumptuous smoothness on the palate.
Opens on sweet juniper and spices, cassia and coriander before the herbal influence of the 22 boldly rise to the fore with mint, sweet gale and wild thyme. Notes of cinnamon, coriander and juniper provide a base for the aromatic Islay botanicals to reveal their astonishing depth and clarity, the signature character of The Botanist.
Allow a moment of sweet juniper and spices etc. before the herbal influence of the 22 boldly rise to the fore’.
A luxurious texture allows the rich botanical flavours to glide across the palate in a rush of fragrant juniper and botanical intensity. Each sip reveals new combinations of flavour, allowing a wonderful depth and complexity to be uncovered. The herbal notes of the 22 complement the base of earthy, spicy juniper-led tones. The distinctive balance of the Botanist is beautifully highlighted by the high strength and viscous texture of this edition.
The finish is wonderfully long and powerful with a rich texture settling on the palate. The weight of flavour begins to change, with gentle floral notes beginning to surface - soft juniper, citrus, water mint, wood sage and clover. The essence of wild Islay botanicals linger on, leaving a lasting impression of the Hebrides.
