About this bottle

The Botanist’s The Botanist Islay Dry Gin is a gin from Islay, Scotland in our spirits range. It is bottled at 46% ABV, in a 700 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Enough botanicals to make us wish we had five noses. Big notes of citrus, delicate menthol and flowers everywhere!; on the palate: Cool at first. It quickly mellows out, warmth growing with citrus keeping it fresh throughout; finish: Long, with a good spice.

Serving & pairing

Best in a tall glass with tonic and a garnish that echoes the botanicals, or stirred into a Martini or Negroni. Pairs with seafood and citrus-dressed salads.

What does “London dry” mean?

A production method, not a place: all botanicals must be added during distillation, with nothing added afterwards except water and a tiny amount of sugar. London dry gin can be made anywhere.

Weekend sipping

Mezcal that tastes like a place.

“Smoke, not a campfire, with the village and the agave named on the page. I read it, then I drank it. Spirit Hives had both parts right.”
Fatima Z.Artisanal mezcal
Collector order

Patient, and then very pleased.

“If you need a bottle tomorrow, this is not that shop. If you want something Spirit Hives actually has and you can wait a stretch, it works. Mine turned up and it was exactly the label I wanted.”
James R.Hard-to-find Scotch
Summer garden

A gin I cannot buy on the high street.

“A citrus gin that barely shows up in the States. Spirit Hives listed the botanicals, I ordered a 700 ml, and it became the house G and T. Not cheap. Completely worth it.”
Hannah W.Contemporary gin
Case order

The case made more sense.

“I drink the reposado enough that a single bottle was a habit. Switching the option to a case at Spirit Hives dropped the unit price and I stopped running out mid-month.”
Carlos M.Reposado tequila, 6-pack
