Description
What kind of spirit is this?
Hendrick’s Orbium by Hendrick’s is a Scottish Gin crafted at 43.4% ABV with a distinct bitter-herbal profile. The signature foundation of juniper, cucumber, and Bulgarian rose petals is elevated by quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus flower. Crystal clear, it reveals delicate floral aromas layered with spicy and herbaceous notes. The palate offers a soft entry that transitions into a measured dryness and refined bitterness, closing with a long, fresh, and balsamic finish.
How is it produced?
Produced in extremely small batches, Hendrick’s Orbium uses historic Carter-Head and Bennett stills to extract delicate aromas from juniper, coriander, angelica root, and lemon peel. The spirit is further enhanced with quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus flower, introducing a deep aromatic complexity. This precise technique yields a balanced gin with a smooth mouthfeel and a fresh, persistent finish, making it perfectly suited for elegant cocktails or sipping neat.

The recipe for the essences includes the addition of rose petals from Bulgaria and locally produced cucumbers. Production at Hendrick's takes place in very small batches of 450 litres, so that all characteristics can be controlled and the highest possible quality achieved.
Attention is also noted in the details, such as the capping that instead of being the classic screw cap it is made of cork. You can look everywhere for a gin like this, but it is impossible to find it. Read more
