The Botanist: Delicate Botanicals, Strong Customer Enthusiasm

♛ BRUNCH GOD CROWD CROWNS · 5.0/5

The Whisky Exchange · 44 reviews

THE CROWD READ

Customers visible on The Whisky Exchange describe a delicate botanical style and enjoyable dry Martinis. The retailer displays a rounded five, but the visible examples are older: they are useful style clues, not evidence that every current buyer agrees.

SECOND-SOURCE CHECK

Master of Malt’s notes for the 70cl, 46% gin in gift packaging describe citrus, floral and gentle menthol aromas, a warming palate and spice in the finish. This is a retailer tasting panel, not an additional customer consensus. We do not transfer a gift-package review count into the standard bottle’s score.

THE BRUNCH GOD TAKE

Investigate it for restrained drinks where botanical detail can remain noticeable. A high crown display matters less than whether you like an aromatic, relatively delicate gin.

REPORTED TASTING NOTES

Aroma · Master of Malt reports citrus, flowers and a mild mint-like lift.

Palate · Its panel describes a cool opening that develops warmth while keeping a citrus impression.

Finish · A lingering spicy note.

Suggested serve · A dry Martini is mentioned by customers; adjust vermouth to preference.

METHOD & SOURCES

Based on customer reviews and published notes, not a firsthand tasting. Crowns retain the named source’s displayed average and rounding.
