Perfect for home cocktails | The Botanist Gin

The Botanist Gin is a progressive exploration of the Scottish island of Islay, made at B Corp certified Bruichladdich Distillery. 22 hand-foraged island botanicals are gathered around the bogs, hills, and shores of the distiller’s Scottish home according to their peak picking season. Painstakingly distilled in a unique Lomond still, the low pressure, slow distillation results in a complex and highly viscous dry gin – perfect for mixing high quality Martini at home, or for a refreshingly layered Botanist and Tonic.

Smokey taste of Islay | Port Charlotte 10

Port Charlotte 10 Year Old is a heavily peated Islay single malt hailing from B Corp certified Bruichladdich Distillery. An alternative to the medicinal style of malts that Islay is famous for, Port Charlotte’s smoke is more subtle, with a soft, heathery, barbeque smoke. Going beyond just its flavour profile, Port Charlotte malts are considered the alternative Islay in their production methods too. Always distilled, matured and bottled on the island, they are a true product of their community. This particular expression is matured in ex-bourbon and ex-wine casks, and at 50% ABV, delivers maximum mouthfeel in every drop.
