Hendrick's

Hendrick’s Gin is distilled at William Grant & Sons in Girvan, Scotland, using a rare Carter-Head still and a Bennett still, then infused with Bulgarian rose petals and fresh cucumber after distillation. The result is a flavor profile unlike any London Dry — less juniper-forward, more floral and fresh. The lineup includes Original (the benchmark), Orbium (quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus blossom for Martini lovers), Lunar (jasmine, rose, and chamomile for floral warmer-weather serves), Midsummer Solstice (elderflower and sun-warmed botanicals, limited seasonal), and the Cabinet of Curiosities experimental releases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Hendrick’s Gin different from London Dry?

Two production differences define Hendrick’s. First, it uses both a Carter-Head still (which produces a lighter, more delicate spirit through vapor infusion) and a Bennett pot still (which produces a richer, more robust spirit) — the two are blended together. Second, Bulgarian rose petals and fresh cucumber are infused into the spirit after distillation, a step not permitted in London Dry gin. The result is a distinctly floral and fresh profile where juniper is present but not dominant.

What is Hendrick’s Orbium?

The Original enhanced with three additional botanical infusions: quinine (from cinchona bark), wormwood, and blue lotus blossom. Each adds complexity without dramatically changing the Hendrick’s house character. Quinine adds a dry, tonic-like bitterness; wormwood adds herbaceous depth; blue lotus blossom adds floral lift. Orbium is specifically designed for Martini drinking — the bitter elements integrate exceptionally well with dry vermouth.
