Good Serve: The Botanist x Rallee

Every now and then the right mates turn up at the right time.

The Botanist are our mates. They make a seriously good gin on the Isle of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland, and they're the Official Gin Partner of Pickleball Australia. So they get the court, and they get the bit after it, when the scores stop mattering and the catch-ups start. We like people like that.

 

Together we've put 180 pieces of The Botanist x Rallee gear up for grabs this summer. Here's how to get your hands on some.

A gin worth the hype

The Botanist is an Islay dry gin made with 22 botanicals hand-foraged from the island's hills, bogs and shoreline, alongside nine classic gin aromatics. It's floral, clean and properly layered, the kind of gin that makes a G&T taste like someone knew what they were doing.

Try it long. Plenty of ice, good tonic, a wedge of orange and a sprig of rosemary. Shade optional, good company essential.

 

How it works

Between now and 31 December, buy a 700ml or 1L bottle of The Botanist from a participating bottle shop (online stores count too), or spend $12 or more on The Botanist at a participating venue.

Snap your receipt, head to thebotanistgoodserve.com and upload it with your details. That's you in. Hang on to the receipt, and remember it's one entry per receipt.

 

What's up for grabs

180 prizes, split three ways. 60 The Botanist x Rallee co-branded tees, 60 co-branded caps, and 60 $50 Rallee Club gift cards to spend on whatever takes your fancy at ralleeclub.com.

The tees and caps are a limited run made just for this collab. You won't find them in our store, so the only way in is through the draw.

Winners are drawn on 6 January 2027 and notified by email, which makes for a decent start to the new year.

 

Spot the kit

Eagle eyes may have clocked something familiar in The Botanist's campaign shots. That's our 'Fine Line' Skort in Black, looking right at home in good company.

If you'd rather not leave your wardrobe to a prize draw, the full Fine Line range is ready when you are.

So next time you're grabbing a bottle for the weekend, you know which one to reach for. Cheers to our mates at The Botanist. See you on court.
