A 48% ABV Scottish dry gin distilled at Balmenach in Speyside, with foraged local botanicals including rowan berries, heather, bog myrtle and rare Coul Blush apple. Crisp juniper and citrus up front, with summer berries, cracked black pepper and dandelion root on the palate. Like The Botanist, this is a whisky distillery's gin — Caorunn is made at Balmenach in Speyside, channelling the same philosophy of expressing Scottish terroir through locally foraged botanicals. If you love the way The Botanist roots itself in the landscape of its island home, you'll find that same sense of place here, just transplanted to the Highland heartland. The Highland Strength expression turns up the dial with a higher ABV that gives the botanical complexity more room to breathe. You get the same layered, herbaceous character you'd expect from a serious foraged gin, but with an extra depth that rewards sipping neat or in a long, simple G&T.

An Irish dry gin at 41% ABV built on locally hand-foraged wild botanicals, delivering a floral, layered profile with notes of autumn fruits, meadow flowers and winter spices. The all-year-round expression from Glendalough's celebrated seasonal range. Glendalough shares The Botanist's most defining trait: a genuine commitment to wild-foraged, place-specific botanicals rather than a standard recipe off the shelf. Where Bruichladdich's team forages the Hebridean hillsides, Glendalough's foragers work the Wicklow mountains — and the result has that same lush, multi-layered floral complexity you'll recognise immediately. It's a slightly softer, more fruit-forward expression of the same botanical philosophy, which makes it an ideal companion rather than a straight swap. If The Botanist is your benchmark for how interesting a gin can be, Glendalough will feel like a natural next step.

A 43% ABV Japanese craft gin from Suntory's Osaka distillery, built on six seasonally harvested Japanese botanicals — sakura blossom, sakura leaf, sencha tea, gyokuro tea, sansho pepper and yuzu — layered over a classic Western gin base. Floral and fragrant on the nose, with yuzu citrus, green tea and a gentle peppery warmth. If what you love about The Botanist is its philosophy of using locally significant, seasonally gathered botanicals to create something genuinely of its place, Roku is that same idea executed on the other side of the world. Suntory distils each of the six Japanese botanicals separately before blending, echoing the meticulous multi-botanical approach that makes The Botanist so compelling. The flavour world is different — less heathery wildflower, more cherry blossom and green tea — but the underlying character is the same: complex, elegant, and clearly the product of a distiller obsessed with botanical craft. It's the wildcard that makes complete sense once you taste it.
