Q ~ What are the four citrus botanicals used to make Silver Bullet?
A ~ I'm not 100% sure, sorry

Silver Bullet is made with 11 botanicals, which are distilled separately, then expertly blended together.

This mature premium spirit has complex layers of citrus and pepper notes, finely balanced with the distinct flavours of juniper and coriander, and is described as smooth and flavoursome. The botanicals are: juniper, coriander, lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, cardamom, grains of paradise, cubebs, lemon peel, dried orange peel, angelica root and hibiscus.

The botanicals are: juniper, coriander, lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, cardamom, grains of paradise, cubebs, lemon peel, dried orange peel, angelica root and hibiscus.

I'd imagine they may be: Lemongrass, Kaffir lime leaves, Lemon peel and Orange Peel.

Thank you.  I thought these may be the answers but wasn't 100% sure xx

But lemongrass is not from the citrus family - it is a grass.  OK, it smells of lemon, but that doesn't make it a citrus.

This is why I wasn't 100% sure.  But none of the other ingredients work, apart from lemon and orange.  Even the Kaffir lime leaves are a bit suss to me.

Kaffir lime is included in Wikipedia's list of citrus plants.
