Fantastic gin easily number 1 of my top 3 gins. No. 3 London dry and Gin Mare in 2nd and 3rd respectfully all top of there destinct styles and tasts so why only 4 stars I hear you say? The price is still too high for me as this style of gin is my personal choice in having a more traditional tasting gin you can get a similar taste in Caorunn for a more reasonable price. But that being said this still beats it just not by the margin the price demands in my opinion.

Não tem um sabor forte e ardente. Provei a primeira vez puro e surpreendeu que mesmo assim, é suave e saboroso.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein purer Genuss für Gin Liebhaber
Reviewed in Germany on 3 June 2023
Size Name: 70 clVerified Purchase
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin ist ein einzigartiges und ausgezeichnetes Getränk. Er stammt von der schottischen Insel Islay, die für ihren außergewöhnlichen Whisky bekannt ist. Jetzt ist sie auch die Heimat dieses erstklassigen Gins. Mit einer angenehmen Zitrusnote und seinem vielschichtigen und komplexen Geschmack hat dieser Gin alle meine Erwartungen übertroffen.

Die Mischung aus 22 wilden Botanicals und 9 klassischen Gin Gewürzen verleiht ihm einen authentischen und einzigartigen Charakter. Die Tatsache, dass er in der Islay-Brennerei Bruichladdich von Hand hergestellt und dreimal länger als üblich destilliert wird, spricht für die Qualität und Sorgfalt, die in die Herstellung dieses Gins einfließt.

The Botanist hat eine seidige Textur und einen reichhaltigen Geschmack, der perfekt für Cocktails oder in Kombination mit einem Dry Tonic ist. Ich persönlich genieße ihn am liebsten als Gin Tonic, vorzugsweise mit einem hochwertigen Tonic.

Von der ersten Verkostung an war ich beeindruckt von der Explosion an Aromen, die dieser Gin zu bieten hat. Die deutlichen Zitrusnoten, gepaart mit den vielschichtigen Aromen der Botanicals, ergeben ein unvergleichliches Geschmackserlebnis. Ebenso bemerkenswert ist das Bouquet des Gins, das an eine duftende Sommerwiese erinnert und den Duft und die Seele der wilden Natur Islays einfängt.

Insgesamt ist The Botanist Islay Dry Gin eine absolute Empfehlung für alle Gin-Liebhaber. Trotz seines vielschichtigen und komplexen Geschmacks ist er äußerst zugänglich und ein purer Genuss. Es ist ein Gin, der bei jeder Verkostung erneut begeistert und ein hervorragendes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis bietet. Von mir bekommt er volle 5 Sterne.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran gin escocesa
Reviewed in Spain on 24 September 2022
Size Name: 70 clVerified Purchase
Había leído buenas reseñas sobre esta gin y decidí probarla. Tiene 31 botánicos de los cuales 22 son locales de la isla de Islay, lo que la convierte en una gin muy autóctona de esta zona del oeste de Escocia. Es una gin muy floral y con marcadas notas cítricas, algo que me gusta encontrar en la gins que suelo tomar. En Islay presumen de hacer buen whisky, pues ya pueden presumir de gin también porque esta ha sido una buena compra. Ha sido un regalo para mi pareja y a ella le ha gustado más que a mi, así que doble felicidad.
