The Botanist Gin – Islay Dry Gin
15 December 2013
Completely repackaged, ‘The Botanist‘ is a small batch, artisinal Islay gin.
Made from Bruichladdich’s ‘Lomond Still’
Character: The spirit is satin smooth gliding over the palate like no gin you have ever tried before. A totally seductive experience.
Nose: The aromas explode like an olfactory aurora borealis filling the senses with meteorites of smell sensations as they explode from the glass. Sweet delicate menthol, apple mint, spring woodlands, juniper, coriander with aniseed undertones, lemon and orange peel, a bouquet of summer flowers on the machir, honey from thistle, coconut from gorse, wild mint and summer meadows. It’s a magical melody of islays’ natural bounty from the atlantic washed beaches to the summit of heather covered hills. Inhale and you’re there on the queen of the hebrides!
All this (and more) from a beaten up old Pot Still, operated by beaten up distillers on the coast of Heaven – Islay.
From Bruichladdich Distillery, Islay

Old Pulteney Stroma Liqueur
11 December 2013
The new Old Pulteney Whisky Liqueur
Old Pulteney Stroma Liqueur
Hailing from the far North East of Scotland, off the Caithness coast, Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur takes it name from the windswept Orcadian Isle. Stroma originates from the Norse meaning ‘island in the stream’ which also refers to the dangerous currents on the island’s shores, including the infamous ‘Swilkie’ whirlpool. Stroma’s lighthouse warns ships of these nearby powerful currents.
This fine liqueur is a careful blend of award winning malt whiskies from Old Pulteney – a mix of lighter and more vigorous malt whiskies. Stroma is smooth, sweet tasting and warming and like the island itself, Stroma is packed full of robust and rugged undertones. Guaranteed to appeal to the more discerning drinker, this unique liqueur can be served neat or over ice. Stroma Malt Whisky Liqueur from Old Pulteney leaves a pleasantly warm and comforting afterglow.
