Botanist Dry Gin (750ml) Burgundy There is good acidityAlthough the Botanist name might suggest a floral gin, instead the flavor profile veers toward herbs and spices. Theres a subtle, herbal scent, with anise flavors up front, backed by coriander seed and cassia bark on the spicy finish. Made by Bruichladdich Distillery, which is renowned for its Scotch, on a pot still named Ugly Betty. Sold in an attractive, square shouldered, gift worthy bottle. Wine Enthusiast 88 points
