Hendrick's Flora Adora Gin is a Flavored Gin from the Hendrick's Gin brand crafted in Scotland.
Hendrick's Flora Adora Gin is a limited-edition release that captures the essence of wildflowers and rare botanicals, creating a uniquely floral and aromatic gin experience. What makes this gin particularly intriguing is that it's infused with flora from the Hendrick's Gin Palace's own walled garden, including blue lotus blossom, which was revered by ancient Egyptians for its supposed aphrodisiac properties and ability to induce vivid dreams.
Hendrick's Flora Adora Gin captivates cocktail lovers with its unique floral profile, featuring the rare Amazonian flowering vine Neptunia oleracea as a key botanical. This limited-edition gin balances delicate floral notes with Hendrick's signature cucumber and rose essences, creating a refreshing and distinctive spirit that's perfect for spring and summer cocktails.
Hendrick's Flora Adora Gin shines in light, floral cocktails that highlight its delicate botanical profile, though it's equally enjoyable served simply with tonic and a slice of cucumber. This gin is perfect for springtime sipping, pairing beautifully with fresh salads, seafood dishes, and fruit-based desserts that complement its subtle floral notes.
Nose: Fresh cucumber and rose petal notes characteristic of Hendrick's, joined by bright floral aromas of chamomile and elderflower. Hints of orange zest and juniper provide a classic gin backbone.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced. The floral notes take center stage, with chamomile tea and elderflower cordial flavors mingling with Hendrick's signature cucumber. Citrus and light spice notes add complexity. The juniper is present but not overpowering.
Finish: Medium-long and pleasantly warming. The floral elements linger, gradually giving way to a subtle peppery spice and a clean, crisp cucumber aftertaste. A touch of sweetness reminiscent of honeysuckle rounds out the experience.
Hendrick's Flora Adora Gin is crafted using a unique infusion of rose and cucumber, along with a blend of 11 botanicals including juniper, coriander, and citrus peels. What sets this gin apart is its limited seasonal release and the incorporation of rare flora essences, particularly the inclusion of floral notes from the Amazonian rainforest, giving it a distinctive and aromatic profile that captures the essence of a lush, blooming garden.
I would suggest following the recipe on the back of the bottle for what they call the "WildGarden Cup." A naked floral dance with a raspberry slap on the tongue it is, for sure! If you appreciate a gin that's more floral, sweet and bright don't pass this up.
