Tasting notes
Chris Goodrum (Gauntleys)
Distilled at Bruichladdich
Tasted: Mar 2011
31 botanicals are used in the production of The Botanist, including 22 native to Islay. The full list of botanicals is as follows: angelica root, apple mint, birch leaves, bog myrtle leaves, cassia bark, chamomile, cinnamon bark, coriander seed, creeping thistle flowers, elder flowers, gorse flowers, heather flowers, hawthorn flowers, wild Islay juniper berries, lardy's bedstraw flowers, lemon balm, lemon peel, liquorice root, meadow sweet, orange peel, oris root, peppermint leaves, mugwort leaves, red clover flowers, tansy, thyme leaves, water mint leaves, white clover, wood sage leaves.
The nose is distinctly London Dry in character with plenty of crisp citrus rind, juniper, herbs and floral notes. A lovely complex and fresh nose with no shortage of depth and a slight creaminess. The palate is slightly oily but balanced by the crisp and citrusy fruit. Again herby with plenty of juniper and an almost tart alcohol which gives it a very mouth watering touch. Fresh and long with a slightly rooty/ barky/ earthy finish.
