The Botanist Islay Dry Gin vs Hebridean Strength – what are the differences?


Islay Dry Gin is known for its balance offering floral, citrus and spicy notes. The 22 hand-picked botanicals and procession of flavours evoke the essence of what it's like to be on Islay on a gentle summers day. Hebridean Strength captures the bolder side of the island for those looking for a deeper experience. Juniper and floral notes are stronger and more prominent in intensity than the Islay Dry Gin.
