THE BOTANIST | Wild, a state of mind


“Wild speaks of many things. Of nature. Of remote lands…”

The four-minute film follows The Botanist's Professional Forager, James Donaldson, as he explores the furthest reaches of the island in his search for the 22 local botanicals that are used in the gin's distillation, before handing over his bounty to Head Distiller, Adam Hannett, to work his magic during a mysterious overnight distillation.
