The Botanist Islay Cask Aged Gin is the rarest expression of Bruichladdich’s Islay gin: The Botanist, with its nine core botanicals and 22 hand-foraged Islay natives, matured for three years in around eight different American and European oak cask types at the distillery on Islay, Scotland. It is bottled at 46% ABV (92 proof). Cask-aging gin for this long is unusual, and Bruichladdich’s whisky makers bring their cask expertise to it.
Drinkhacker rated it an A-, describing ginger, cinnamon and cherry spice with floral, camphor notes on the nose, then orange blossom, jasmine and rose petal with spiced nuts and mulled wine on the palate, and a long finish of lemon curd, almond nougat and red pepper with persistent florals, and noted it excels in cocktails like a Negroni. This is a gin for the collector: sip it neat in a whisky glass, or build the richest Martinez you have ever tasted.
