LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

A delightfully peculiar spirit. The rose and cucumber infusion isn't just a gimmick; it's a revolutionary reimagining of what a super-premium gin can be.

The Library Note

The brainchild of Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, Hendrick's uses a combination of two different stills: the Bennett, which produces a deep, floral spirit, and the rare Carter-Head, which creates a lighter, more delicate vapor. Together, they create a gin that is as sophisticated as it is whimsical.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Huge juniper aroma with hints of musky rose and refreshing cucumber.

THE PALATE

Smooth and superbly balanced botanicals. Clean and dry without being astringent.

THE FINISH

Long, refreshing floral finish with a hint of spice.
