All are hand-picked by our expert foraging team from the windswept hills, peat bogs and Atlantic shores of this Hebridean island of Islay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"div_ISD\"\u003eThis truly seasonal and exotic cocktail is then slow \"simmer\" distilled in our unique and cherished Lomond pot-still, \"ugly betty\". Betty prefers to work at low-pressure and won't be rushed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"div_ISD\"\u003eSo our precious botanicals are slowly and gently coaxed into releasing their complex, signature aromatics. This was a unique project for our head distiller, Jim McEwan. Jim says he had to \"learn a new dance\" with Betty, and none of us knew what to expect from that first, achingly-slow 17 hour distillation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"div_ISD\"\u003eThe result: a highly distinctive, complex, floral gin with outstanding finish and impeccable provenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"div_ISD\"\u003eIn an age of re-badged industrial gins, the Botanist stands out as a truly artisanal, small-batch, hand-crafted labor of love and distiller's art. A breath of botanical Islay in every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HS Waterballs Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40968773075135,"sku":"BOTAGIN700","price":94.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/2749\/6895\/files\/Botanist400.jpg?v=1773973132","url":"https:\/\/nzliquor.online\/products\/botanist-gin-46","provider":"NZ Liquor Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
