Hendrick's Gin in a Nutshell

Hendrick's Gin, an iconic Scottish craft spirit, achieves its distinctive character through a dual distillation process using both Bennett and Carter-Head stills, a rather curious approach. It's the post-distillation infusion of rose and cucumber essences, however, that truly sets it apart, offering a floral and fresh counterpoint to the traditional juniper notes, making it a versatile and recognized component for any well-stocked home bar and a favorite among cocktail ingredients.

Anders' Take on Hendrick's Gin

"Hendrick's has notes of cucumber and rose that make it a crowd pleaser. It works beautifully in so many cocktails."

Let's Answer Your Questions About Hendrick's Gin

Where is Hendrick's Gin from?

Hendrick's Gin, a rather distinctive spirit, hails from Girvan, Scotland, and made its debut in 1999, thanks to the innovative minds at William Grant & Sons, including Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. It's not an old classic, but rather a modern gin that played a significant role in the gin revival. The brand is particularly known for its unusual infusion of cucumber and rose essences, which occurs *after* distillation, setting it apart from many traditional gins. Notably, Hendrick's is crafted using two different types of stills: a rare Carter-Head and an antique Bennett pot still, the spirits from which are blended together before the signature essences are added, all done in small 500-liter batches.

How should I use Hendrick's Gin?

Hendrick's Gin, with its distinct infusion of cucumber and rose, offers a refreshingly floral and subtly vegetal character. It truly shines in cocktails that allow these delicate notes to come forward, like a classic Gin and Tonic with a cucumber garnish, or a sophisticated French 75.

What does Hendrick's Gin taste like?

Hendrick's offers a distinct aromatic profile of juniper, lightened by a musky rose and brightened with sweet orange and lime zest. The taste presents classic gin botanicals like angelica and coriander, with citrus, particularly orange and lime, making a candy-like appearance mid-palate. It finishes with a notable juniper astringency, alongside notes of soaked rose petal, cucumber, and a surprising, pleasant bitterness.
