TASTE NOTE

SATIN SMOOTH VISCOSITY, GLIDES ACROSS THE PALATE.

BODY

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

NOSE

Immediately, a bouquet of herbal freshness, juniper, and sweet citrus comes 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, chamomile – 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, with sweet and earthy notes combined with delicate floral and herbal notes of the Islay 22. Each sip reveals deeper layers and more complex combinations of delicate flavors. This complexity and versatility perfectly suit a creative foraged serve of your 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 flavor, a different combination of botanicals, upon every taste.
