Did you know the lettering on our bottle is actually the latin names for each of the Islay botanicals?

If you agree that food would ideally be local and seasonal, how about making it wild?

Here are the inspirational stories of three people who have taken wild food all the way. In England, Nick Weston @huntergathercook catches trout and serves it with horseradish and ground ivy growing by the side of the river. Roushanna Gray @veldandsea forages in the inter-tidal zone of the eastern Cape to serve a white wine and mussel stew inside a kelp bowl. And restauranteur Nick Liu @dailoto creates Canadian-Asian-fusion dishes from fiddle head ferns and flowers from his parents yard.
