Tasting note

品飲筆記：這款艾雷島風格的乾琴酒以明確的杜松子為主幹，伴隨清新柑橘、豐富草本與淡淡花香，口感飽滿但不厚重，尾韻帶微辛與些許鮮鹹，餘味中等偏長。 生產與釀造：植物學家（The Botanist）是以探索艾雷島植物為核心的作品。酒廠採用 22 種手工採集的本地植物，搭配傳統九種基礎香料，透過緩慢的銅壺蒸餾萃取層次。酒精基底為中性穀物烈酒，未經橡木陳年，保持純淨與香氣的鮮明。 產地與田地：這不是葡萄園的故事，而是島嶼的風土：沿海草地、內陸小丘與潮濕草甸上採集的植物，賦予酒款一種近似「風土」的多樣性——從海岸鹹香、野草清爽到細緻花香都能在杯中找到。 飲用建議：建議作為經典 Gin & Tonic 或淨飲，倒出後稍等約10分鐘讓香氣舒展，再細細品味其層次與口感。

Tasting Note: A layered, dry Islay gin with clear juniper at its core and bright citrus lift. Herbal and gently floral threads weave through a lightly savory, spicy finish — medium in length with clean, ethereal notes. Producer Notes: The Botanist is a progressive exploration of Islay’s botanical heritage. Crafted with 22 hand‑foraged local botanicals that augment the nine classic gin aromatics, it is presented as the island’s distinctive dry gin expression. Winemaking / Distillation Notes: Distilled slowly in pot stills (including the famed 'Ugly Betty'), the spirit is built on a neutral grain base and receives its complexity through long, careful distillation runs where measured amounts of botanicals are added to capture delicate aromatic layers. The gin is unaged and bottled at 46% ABV to preserve vibrancy and texture. Vineyard / Foraging Notes: Rather than vineyards, the character here comes from Islay’s terrain — machair, coastal meadows, and sheltered hillsides — where botanicals are hand‑foraged by local teams. The result is a botanical map of the island: coastal herbs, wild flowers and aromatic leaves that give terroir-like depth. Service Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat or in a classic G&T to showcase its citrus-herbal interplay; allow a brief 10 minutes after pouring to open up aromatics.
