The Duchess Botanical is the founding product of the brand, launched in September 2016. It was developed by founder Johannes Le Roux in collaboration with a botanist, built around re-distilled juniper berries and a botanically infused tonic water base. Two specific botanical extracts remain undisclosed: one providing a floral character and one a woody, earthy base note, alongside top notes of orange peel and star anise. The drink uses Xylitol and Stevia as sweeteners, an approach developed to avoid the high sugar content common in non-alcoholic alternatives. The Botanical is positioned as the classic, dry gin-forward anchor of the range.
