The Islay Gin.

Bruichladdich is one of theĀ most impressiveĀ distilleries in Scotland, in the World even. It was built in 1881 by the Harvey brothers, who came from aĀ dynastic WhiskyĀ family. The brothers had wanted to create a distillery that was theĀ very antithesisĀ of an Islay farm distillery. They built a cathedral-like,Ā state-of-the-artĀ Victorian still house, where they used 6m tall stills, which was unheard of at that time, and way ahead of its time.

Today, the distillery remains pretty much the same as it did over 100 years ago. Their belief is, as the French culinary saying goes,Ā "it is in the oldest pots that the best soup is made". Slow fermentation, slow distillation, in very traditional, wooden vats and huge washes made from towering Douglas Fir.

However, they don't just make Whisky, they alsoĀ produce Gin. For theĀ Botanist Islay Dry GinĀ the craftsmen at Bruichladdich useĀ 9 classic GinĀ aromatics and a whoppingĀ 22 additional local botanicals, which are hand-picked from the windswept hills, peat bogs, and Atlantic shores of the Hebridean island of Islay. This Islay specialty is distilledĀ 4 times slowerĀ than the average Gin, in Bruichladdich'sĀ Ugly Betty, one of the few remainingĀ Lomond StillsĀ in existence. Itā€™s the only Gin produced on the Isle of Islay. The story and the Gin, great.

Some of the botanicals included: Orris root, cassia bark, coriander seed, Mugwort, Meadow Sweet, Lady's Bedstraw flowers, apple mint, downy birch, elder, gorse flower.Ā
