Description
What kind of spirit is it
Hendrick’s Gin is a Scottish distilled gin crafted in the London Dry style, offering a smooth, dry, and balanced profile at 44% ABV. The spirit is defined by a juniper core intertwined with botanicals such as coriander, chamomile, yarrow, cubeb berries, elderflower, and aromatic roots. Citrus peels brighten the bouquet, while a signature infusion of German cucumbers and Bulgarian rose petals imparts its unique character. The nose reveals floral and citrus notes alongside hints of black pepper and a subtle eucalyptus edge, leading to a refreshingly round palate defined by crisp cucumber, gentle floral sweetness, and a long, delicate finish.
Where does it come from
This spirit originates from Ayrshire, Scotland, where it is crafted at the Girvan Distillery. Local distilling expertise provides a foundation of technical precision, ensuring rigorous small-scale control throughout the process. While rooted in Scottish heritage, the recipe integrates globally sourced botanicals into a cohesive flavour profile. Created in 1999, Hendrick’s quickly gained global acclaim for its original character. Its meticulous distillation approach was widely recognised when it was named the world’s best gin in 2003, and it has subsequently earned numerous international tasting medals.
How is it produced
The spirit undergoes small-batch distillation in runs of approximately 450 litres, allowing for exact control over aromatic extraction. The method employs two historic stills, the Carter-Head and Bennett, to produce two separate distillates before they are carefully blended. Botanicals are treated according to their specific properties: some are macerated in alcohol for twenty-four hours and boiled, whilst others are steam-distilled. This comprehensive process lasts at least twelve hours. The distillation concludes with a defining post-distillation infusion of cucumber and Bulgarian rose oils.
History and Heritage
Created in 1999 by the William Grant family in Scotland, this extraordinary spirit redefines tradition through its handcrafted, small-batch distillation of just 450 litres. By combining historic Carter-Head and Bennett stills with a meticulous 24-hour maceration, it ensures exceptional quality. The true magic lies in the final infusion of cucumber and Bulgarian rose, which creates a deeply refreshing flavour profile—a distinction that saw it named the world’s best gin in 2003. This premium Scottish icon is elegantly finished with a signature cork stopper.

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
