Hendrick’s Gin [700ML]

Description

What if we told you there’s a gin that breaks every rule in the book, infusing rose petals and cucumber into a spirit that’s anything but ordinary?

Meet Hendrick’s Gin, the Scottish maverick that has redefined what gin can be since its creation by the William Grant family. This isn’t your typical London Dry – it’s a peculiar spirit that celebrates the abnormal, crafted in tiny 500-liter batches using two antique stills from the 1860s and 1940s. While most gins follow tradition, Hendrick’s dares to be different with its 11 botanical blend featuring Bulgarian rose petals and cucumber essence. For gin enthusiasts seeking variety, consider exploring The Botanist Islay Dry Gin or Tanqueray No. Ten Small Batch for comparison.
