BOTANICALS

Sweet cicely is a delicate, feathery-leaved herb with umbrella-like clusters of tiny white flowers, often found in woodlands and hedgerows. Closely related to fennel and anise, it has a naturally sweet, aromatic flavour reminiscent of liquorice sweets, with soft notes of aniseed and mild spice.

Nettle is a hardy, green-leaved plant covered in fine stinging hairs, commonly found in wild meadows and woodland edges across Scotland. Once carefully harvested and processed, it reveals a clean, earthy flavour with grassy, slightly peppery notes, bringing a savoury depth that complements both herbal and citrus botanicals.

Rhubarb is easily recognised by its vibrant pink-red stalks and large green leaves, though only the stalks are used due to their tart, tangy flavour. A longtime favourite in both kitchens and distilleries, rhubarb adds a bright, crisp acidity and subtle sweetness that brings lively balance to botanical blends.
