Islay Dry Gin
⏳ Drikkevindue
Ready to drink immediately as spirits do not mature or improve in the bottle. To preserve the delicate botanical oils, store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place. Best served chilled, on the rocks, or at room temperature.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Excellent in a classic Gin & Tonic garnished with a sprig of rosemary or a slice of red grapefruit, or served in a dry Martini with a lemon twist. For food pairings, its herbal and citrus profile pairs exceptionally well with fresh oysters, smoked salmon, or mild goat cheese.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is distilled at the Bruichladdich Distillery on Islay using a unique, low-pressure Lomond still. The distillation is a slow, 17-hour process designed to gently extract the aromatic oils. The recipe features nine classic gin botanicals alongside 22 hand-foraged botanicals native to Islay, including heather, meadowsweet, and lemon balm. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration, this unaged spirit offers a highly complex profile characterized by floral notes, sweet menthol, citrus, and a background of juniper and warming spices.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
The Botanist blev skabt på det progressive Bruichladdich Distillery på den skotske ø Islay og blev lanceret i 2011 under ledelse af den legendariske master distiller Jim McEwan. Ginnen destilleres på 'Ugly Betty' – en sjælden og stærkt modificeret Lomond pot still, som muliggør en langsom og skånsom destillation ved lavt tryk. Den unikke opskrift er en hyldest til Islays vilde terroir og kombinerer ni klassiske gin-botanicals med 22 lokale, håndplukkede urter og planter fra øen, heriblandt agertidsel, lyngblomst og mosepors. Resultatet er The Botanist Islay Dry Gin, som verden over hyldes for sin bemærkelsesværdigt komplekse, silkebløde tekstur og en rig, floral og urtepræget aromatisk profil.
