The Botanist Islay Dry GinThe Botanist is the first and only Islay dry gin available at this time. In addition to the nine classic gin botanicals, it uses 22 local herbs and flowers foraged responsibly and by hand from the hills, shores and bogs by their team of botanical scientists. This fascinating seasonal cocktail is then slow "simmer" distilled for seventeen hours in their unique Lomond pot still at low pressure, so that the botanicals are gently coaxed into releasing

smoky and slightly sweet spirit with a hint of peat on the palate but none of the briny traits characteristic of many Islay malts

As a New York State Farm Distillery

and a dash of bitters over ice

Never emptied

has been making a great name for itself

along with an aroma of sandalwood

a hint of leather and smoothing baker's chocolate

multiple Bourbon recipes is an art in itself

Dark Horse is able to maintain consistency with each bottling

It is ripe

then we recommend a long decant of 1-2 hours to help the wine open

the whisky is mellowed in a unique Solera Vat
