I was always curious on how an island 2 hours off the coast of Scotland can produce a gin using 22 local/ wild botanicals.

What was also intriguing was how a global brand like Botanist can sustain this across an island only 240 square miles.

Lucky for me I got to spend a few days with James Donaldson, forager for the Botanist to explain all this and show me that foraging isn’t as easy as it sounds, especially on an island that gets over 200 days of rain.

The Botanist Gin is a unique, wild, well-balanced gin that lives up to its name being created by two botanical experts, a full-time forager and the Head Distiller. The Botanist Gin has 31 botanicals and you can find 22 of them growing wild on the lush, fertile Isle of Islay 2 hours off the coast of Scotland.

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels. 🍾🍻

So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.

My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.

From Switzerland to Mexico, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.

With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.

As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.

You’ll see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila.
