The Botanist at Taste Festive

The Botanist, Islay’s first and only dry gin will be offering a wild experience like no other at Taste Festive this year, bringing Islay to London.

We’ve been told that The Botanist is a truly exceptional gin and a representation of the region’s progressive heritage. We can’t wait to try the nine classic gin botanicals which have been augmented by 22 local herbs and flowers, all foraged responsibly by hand from the hills, shores and bogs of the Hebridean Island by botanical scientists. A full review of The Botanist Gin will be in a future post so keep an eye out for that.

At this years Taste of London, try The Botanist and Tonic or festive foraged cocktails. The Botanist will be offering a host of seasonal serves at its bar – bringing Islay to the festive edition of Taste of London from until Sunday the 19th November.

You will be able to explore the botanicals of The Botanist Gin and pick your own garnish with The Botanist’s foraging table – a Taste of London Festive Edition exclusive.

The Botanist Gin also invites customers to meet a host of special guests including Brand Ambassador Abigail Clephane, Chef Craig Grozier and Forager John Rensten. Learn the story behind the gin and how it came about through a series of masterclasses, including foraging and food pairing masterclasses. Craig Grozier will also be serving a host of seasonal canapé concoctions, from Smoked Haddock, Porridge & Green Juniper to Vacherin with Pine, Rosehip & Apple.

Each masterclass ticket costs £10 and includes two The Botanist drinks
