Product Description

Hendrick’s Gin is made using a proprietary blend of 11 botanicals, including juniper, coriander, orange peel, lemon peel, angelica root, orris root, cubeb berries, caraway seeds, chamomile, elderflower, and meadowsweet. It is uniquely distilled using two stills: the Bennett still, which creates rich and heavy spirits, and the Carter-Head still, known for its light and floral character. This combination creates a gin that is both complex and smooth.

FAQs

• Why is Hendrick’s not a “London Dry” gin?
  Hendrick’s Gin is not classified as London Dry because the cucumber and rose essences are added after distillation. London Dry requires all flavors to be distilled together, without any additional flavorings post-distillation.

• Why is the bottle dark brown?
  The dark brown apothecary-style bottle is designed to protect the delicate botanical oils from light, ensuring the gin’s flavors remain fresh.

• Is it better to serve it with lemon or cucumber?
  Hendrick’s officially recommends serving with cucumber, as it complements the gin’s core infusion. Lemon can sometimes overpower the subtle floral notes of the rose infusion.
