The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is produced on the Isle of Islay, Scotland — a location far better known for peated whisky than gin — and it stands out for an ambitious botanical bill: 22 hand-foraged local botanicals gathered from the island's hills and coastline, added to nine classic gin botanicals for a total of 31.
On the nose, expect a complex, layered aroma with wild island herbs and florals joining classic juniper and citrus, reflecting the diversity of its foraged ingredients. The palate is remarkably nuanced, with herbal and floral notes unfolding gradually rather than all at once, finishing long and delicately herbal rather than sharply dry. That complexity makes The Botanist a great gin to sip in a simple Gin and Tonic where its many subtle botanicals have room to reveal themselves, or in a classic Martini for the same reason.
For gin drinkers who want to explore just how much botanical complexity Scotland's terroir can offer, The Botanist is an exceptional, genuinely place-driven choice. Order this Islay-crafted gin online at Habits Bottle Shop and discover Islay's botanical side.

Ways To Pour It
Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
