Hendrick’s Gin: An Unusual Spirit
Hendrick’s Gin is an unusual spirit. It’s made with 11 botanicals, including rose and cucumber, and it’s distilled in Scotland. Hendrick’s is a small-batch gin, which means that each batch is slightly different from the last. This gin is perfect for summertime sipping. It’s light and refreshing, with just a hint of sweetness.
The Botanicals
Hendrick’s Gin is made with 11 botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander seeds, citrus peel, and rose petals. These botanicals are combined to create a complex, well-balanced gin. The juniper berries provide a traditional gin flavour, while the rose petals add a touch of sweetness. The citrus peel gives Hendrick its characteristic zesty aroma.
The Distillation Process
Hendrick’s Gin is distilled in Scotland using a Carter-Head still. This type of still allows for a long distillation process, which results in a smooth, nuanced gin. Hendrick’s is then cut with water from the River Clyde and bottled at 41% ABV.
