What is Hendrick's Gin?

Hendrick's Gin stands out with its unique infusion of cucumber and Bulgarian rose petals, creating a distinctively floral and refreshing profile. Interestingly, the distillery where Hendrick's is made houses two rare and antique stills: a Bennet still from 1860 and a Carter-Head still from 1948, both of which are still used in production today to create the gin's signature blend of botanicals.

Why do we love Hendrick's Gin?

Hendrick's Gin captivates cocktail enthusiasts with its distinctive blend of 11 botanicals, including the unconventional additions of cucumber and rose petals, which create a uniquely floral and refreshing profile. Unlike most gins that are produced in a single still, Hendrick's utilizes a combination of a Carter-Head and Bennett still, resulting in a smoother, more nuanced spirit that shines in both classic and contemporary cocktails.

How do you drink Hendrick's Gin?

Hendrick's Gin shines in refreshing cocktails that highlight its unique cucumber and rose petal notes, making it perfect for warm summer evenings or springtime gatherings. While delightful on its own over ice, this gin truly excels when mixed with tonic water and garnished with a slice of cucumber, or as the base for light, floral cocktails that pair beautifully with seafood dishes or fresh salads.

Fun Facts

Product Details

Hendrick's Gin is crafted using a unique combination of two stills: a traditional pot still and a rare Carter-Head still, which allows for a gentler extraction of flavors from the botanicals. What sets Hendrick's apart is the addition of Bulgarian rose and cucumber essences after distillation, giving the gin its distinctive floral and refreshing character.

Hendrick's Gin features an unusual dual-still distillation process, using both a Carter-Head still and a Bennett still. The Carter-Head, of which only a handful exist in the world, allows for a gentler extraction of flavors from the botanicals, resulting in Hendrick's unique taste profile.

The iconic Hendrick's bottle design was inspired by Victorian apothecary jars and poison bottles. Its dark, opaque color serves a practical purpose too – it helps protect the gin from light exposure, which can affect its delicate flavors.

Hendrick's Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, maintains a special locked garden at the distillery in Scotland where she grows and experiments with rare botanicals. This "Cabinet of Curiosities" has led to limited edition gins like Orbium, which includes quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus blossom.
