Product Information

This richly complex gin is a collaboration with and a true celebration of the University of Oxford’s extraordinary Botanic Garden – the oldest of its kind in the country. Eschewing pesticides and chemical fertilisers all of our crops are grown sustainably, contributing to an abundance of wildflowers, insects and birds across our farms. As the first Islay Dry Gin it is truly unique, with 22 wild and hand-foraged, local herbs and flowers delicately and slowly distilled with nine classic gin botanicals. Wild Island Botanic Gin is a celebration of the beauty and unique character of our island home, the Isle of Colonsay.

Islay Dry Gin it is truly unique, with 22 hand-foraged, local herbs and flowers delicately and slowly distilled with nine classic gin botanicals. Introducing Scotland’s first and only AbsintheThe Murmichan, a wicked Scots fairy and a fitting name for the first Scottish absinthe.Created by the folks at Colonsay Brewery, this small batch gin takes its design inspiration from the colours and contours of the island's beautiful Kiloran Bay, and takes its flavour inspiration from the wild botanicals that grow on Colonsay. The nose is a rich complex of fresh juniper, followed quickly by coriander and a complexity of gin flavours.

Wild Island have created a gin that has a refreshing lemon base, pronounced further by a diverse array of leaves and flowers, including lemon balm, selected to deliver a gentle floral, citrus fresh character.

Under the Distance Selling Regulations, you may cancel a distance contract to purchase a product or products from us at any time within 7 working days after the day you received the relevant product or products (subject to the limitations set out below).

The botanicals are gathered responsibly from the hills, shores and bogs of the Hebridean Island by The Botanist's expert forager, with the liquid capturing the heart and soul of the island. Born in a traditional copper still infused with six native hand foraged botanicals growing wild on our island and a further ten as our base. Using a total of 16 botanicals and distilled using the traditional single copper pot still method, we have created a gin that has a refreshing lemon base, pronounced further by a diverse array of leaves and flowers – including lemon balm – hand foraged on the island and selected to deliver a gentle floral, citrus fresh character. With nothing between here and Canada those weather systems bring fearsome and dramatic winter storms.
