Hendrick’s is a Scottish gin distilled in Girvan from two different stills, then infused with rose and cucumber after blending. Eleven traditional botanicals (including juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, orris root and elderflower) sit underneath the rose and cucumber, giving it a cool, floral character that reads as gentler and less juniper forward than a classic London Dry. It’s the reference bottle for a Hendrick’s-style gin and tonic, garnished with cucumber rather than citrus.
CHARACTER
Juniper: A smooth backbone running through the palate
Cucumber: Fresh and cooling on the nose and palate
Rose: Floral, lingering through the finish
Orange Peel: Part of the citrus peel character in the finish
Black Pepper: Earthy, peppery spice through the palate and finish
TASTING NOTES
