Inspired by George Forrest
Who was george forrest?
George Forrest was a great plant hunter, a true pioneer of the 20th Century. Over 28 years, Forrest led seven valiant expeditions to the exotics of Yunnan, China, to discover and collect new plants.
George's Legacy
Though these trips were fraught with danger, they became heroic tales of bravery and adventure. Forrest brought back over 30,000 specimens, hundreds of which are still in cultivation today and flourish in many gardens.
Locally Grown Botanicals
We carefully combined seven locally-grown botanicals, including two of Forrest’s own discoveries, and every batch is distilled just 1.5 miles from where his home cottage still stands in Loanhead, Scotland.
