Produced by William Grant & Sons in Scotland, Hendricks takes the traditional London Dry foundation of juniper, coriander, and citrus peel, then adds an unexpected twist with post-distillation infusions of cucumber and rose petal essences. This signature combination, alongside eleven carefully selected botanicals including chamomile, elderflower, yarrow, and cubeb berries, creates a gin that stands apart from the standard juniper-forward profile. The spirit is bottled at 41.4% ABV, offering approachable strength without sacrificing complexity.
Hendricks shines in a classic gin and tonic, where Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic particularly complements the rose notes through its geranium inclusion. The cucumber and floral character also makes it exceptional in citrus-forward cocktails like a Tom Collins or Corpse Reviver, while the botanical complexity holds up beautifully in a martini. Serve with lime rather than lemon to let the delicate aromatics come through.
- Contemporary gin style with 13 botanicals including cucumber and rose
- Distilled in Scotland at 41.4% ABV
- Often voted one of the best gins globally, highly regarded by gin enthusiasts
The flavour profile opens with bright juniper backed by citrus notes of Meyer lemon and lime, followed by distinctive Persian cucumber freshness and soaked rose petal character. Earl Grey tea nuances emerge mid-palate alongside subtle herbaceous bitterness, while the finish carries a fairly long juniper-led astringency with a gentle warming quality. The overall impression is one of balance between traditional gin structure and modern botanical innovation, interesting enough to sip neat yet versatile in mixed drinks.
This is a gin for those who appreciate floral and herbaceous spirits, ideal for cocktail enthusiasts looking to explore beyond standard London Dry expressions, and perfect as a thoughtful gift for anyone developing their gin collection.
