What Makes Botanist Gin So Special?

- I was always curious on how an island 2 hours off the coast of Scotland can produce a gin using 22 local/ wild botanicals.
What was also intriguing was how a global brand like Botanist can sustain this across an island only 240 square miles.
Lucky for me I got to spend a few days with James Donaldson, forager for the Botanist to explain all this and show me that foraging isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially on an island that gets over 200 days of rain.
The Botanist Gin is a unique, wild, well-balanced gin that lives up to its name being created by two botanical experts, a full-time forager and the Head Distiller. The Botanist Gin has 31 botanicals and you can find 22 of them growing wild on the lush, fertile Isle of Islay 2 hours off the coast of Scotland.

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels. 🍾🍻
So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.
My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.
From Switzerland to Mexico, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.
With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.
As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.
You’ll see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila.

Seeing and understanding the Natural Heritage of Jin is a few of those experiences which you can't explain even if you want to, you can just experience it. Loved it!!!

Great video Jeff, I think we can buy that gin here in Aussie. We haven't seen much of you lately I miss your content mate👍.
I appreciate it brother and I’ve been focusing on distilling,and creating some new products for a company called Spheric Spirits. Getting ready to film episodes about Mezcal. Thanks for the support as always. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Looking forward to these episode's mate..... ✌.@@drinkdestinations
Great film as usual Jeff. Not my favourite gin but I appreciate it's a different flavour for the right time
Thanks so much and I think botanist can be an inspiration for other areas/ distilleries around the world to do something similar. I appreciate you taking time to comment 👊🏻 -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations That's a fair point. They are using their product to bring forward a plight that may start affecting others. Chartreuse is similar in that in a different way, they don't want to over farm and thus production has been limited
@@SanTM exactly is the information I want to put out to educate people on. Subtle things like this people can adopt and use in what they are doing
Go ahead Jeff, repeat every flower mentioned in this video with right pronounciation again 😂.
Hahahahhahahahha not going to happen hahahhaa
Comments cuz they help
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks for this beautiful movie but apparently you only list 21 ingredients, one is missing ! which one please?
Great catch and I’m going to have to review this. I went over this so many times hahahaha to ensure and talk to botnaist numerous times.
