Product Description

Islay is known as the ‘Queen of the Hebrides’ because of its fertile land. It is both greener and flatter than many of the other Hebridean islands. It still boasts some high moorland and hills, the highest being Beinn Bheigeir (Ben Vicar) at 491m.

Islay’s diverse landscape is due to its underlying geological structure. The lower-lying fertile land is underlain by limestone and mica schists, while hard quartzites form the rugged uplands.

Body: Satin smooth; it glides across the palate. The viscosity of the liquid is exceptional.

Nose: Immediately a bouquet of herbal freshness, juniper and sweet citrus come to the fore. Allow a little time to open and the sweet, spicy and earthy notes of cassia and coriander set a base for the delicate complexity of the Islay 22. The scent of Islay botanicals gently rises, winding their wild aromas of mint, thyme, sweet gale, gorse, camomile – a green freshness – through the heart of The Botanist.

Taste: Rich and mellow, cool on entry then warming across the palate, stimulating the taste buds with a round mouthfeel and citrus freshness. The balance and complexity are distinctive. Sweet and earthy notes combine with the delicate floral and herbal notes of the Islay 22. Each sip reveals deeper layers and more complex combinations of delicate flavours. This complexity and versatility perfectly suit a creative serve of you own.

Finish: Relaxed and balanced. Water mint, hawthorn, wood sage, sweet cicely, cinnamon, citrus, soft juniper – a harmonious combination held together with a gentle, satin soft texture. The viscosity from an achingly slow distillation brings out the delicate essence of Islay, expressing a different balance of flavour, a different combination of botanicals, upon every taste.
