About
Botanical Spirit
A Botanical Spirit is created by flavoring a neutral base, such as Vodka, with any number of botanical additions. Usually these additions are herbal or floral in nature (think herbs, spices, berries, seeds, and/or flowers), and many compare these Spirits to Gins without the juniper being predominant or even included at all. Additionally, being labeled a 'Botanical Spirit' means its minimum strength is 15% ABV, allowing for a broad categorization.
