Product description
Hendrick's is an unusual gin created from eleven fine botanicals. The curious, yet marvelous, infusions of rose & cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavor resulting in an unimpeachably smooth and distinct gin. The Hendrick’s Rickey is a beloved, refreshing and easy-to-make cocktail. However, Ms. Lesley Gracie, chooses to drink it with club soda, elderflower liqueur and garnished with 3 thinly sliced cucumber rounds. Hand-crafted on the Southwest coast of Scotland in the decidedly un-ginnish town of Girvan, tiny batches of only 500 lovely litres are produced at a time, which gives Ms. Lesley Gracie, our Master Distiller and the inventor of Hendrick’s Gin, greater control of her careful artistry. Hendrick’s Gin is created via an absurdly inefficient, yet quite glorious process. In essence, to make one gin, we first create two. One on an old-fashioned pot still, yielding a rich and intricate spirit. The other on along-necked Carter Head, producing a delicate, more refined spirit. Each still is infused with an unusual symphony of 11 botanicals. The gins from the two stills are then married together and graced with refreshing infusions of Rose and Cucumber. This odd method of making gin enables Hendrick’s to taste light, yet intriguingly complex. The result is a wondrously refreshing gin with a delightfully floral aroma, elevating any cocktail and all occasions. Escape the conventional, and embrace the delectable. Please enjoy the unusual responsibly.

Kostas Verified BuyerVerified BuyerVery good Gin. Has pleasant after tones and not too strong going down the hatch. Overall good Gin .solid 7/10 for me
Darren R Honestly, the best gin I’ve ever had. Hands down. No comparison. Anyone leaving bad reviews here about Drizly has NOTHING to do with Henrdick’s gin itself. People that do this are on the lower end of the intellectual spectrum and shouldn’t be posting rwviews at all.

FAQs
A classic method for serving Hendrick's gin is a gin and tonic in an ice-cold highball glass; fill the glass with ice, add the gin, top it off with fizzy tonic water, and add a lime wedge to garnish (or a cucumber slice, which the Hendrick's team recommends). Hendrick's gin has a complex ingredient list that lends to the spirit’s intricate flavor, so it’s best not to step on it with too many ingredients. For Hendrick's, look for cocktail recipes with fresh elements (like lemon, basil, or strawberry) that emphasize the delicate botanicals from the gin.
With a marketing scheme defined by flowers, parachuting cucumbers, anthropomorphized cats, and a certain tongue-in-cheek austerity, it’s easy to understand the gin’s appeal before you even taste the product. Clever branding aside, Hendrick's gin is a unique spirit, both in its complex ingredient list (which contains a special blend of nearly a dozen botanicals) and uncommon distilling technique. It’s a true one-of-a-kind distilling method; Hendrick's actually crafts separate small-batch gins using two different stills (a Carter-Head and an old-school Bennett) before carefully blending the final product together.
Yes, cucumbers are a prominent ingredient in the Hendrick Gin's recipe. In fact, the team at Hendrick's is arguably obsessed with cucumbers, even going so far as to grow their own special varieties from all over the world (like the African Horned cucumber or the Hmong Red). To achieve the fruit’s vegetal yet refreshing taste, Hendrick's gin distillers infuse the spirit with actual cucumbers (and rose petals) during its final stages; they even recommend that you garnish your glass with cucumber slices to really bring out that cucumber-y flavor.
Gin isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for the gin-lover in your life, Hendrick's is a recognizable, high-quality brand. What’s more, you can likely find the standard 750mL bottle for less than $40. Considering its affordability, you might round out your gift with a nice brand of tonic water and a few limes (by the way, you can purchase everything on Drizly and have it delivered within the hour). Even if you’re unsure whether your host enjoys gin, Hendrick's gin is a staple for any home liquor cabinet and lends itself to a variety of cocktail ideas.
