✨ Technical Specifications
Hendrick's Flora Adora is a limited-release distilled gin produced at the Hendrick's Gin Palace in Girvan, Scotland. Crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, this spirit is categorized under 'Other' as it is a distilled gin rather than a wine. It is produced using a combination of two different stills—a Carter-Head and a Bennett still—and is infused with a selection of sweet, floral botanicals that complement the brand's signature cucumber and rose essences. The production process focuses on vapor-infusion and direct distillation to achieve its distinct aromatic profile.
🍾 About the Producer
Launched in 1999 by family-owned distiller William Grant & Sons, Hendrick's is crafted at the dedicated Gin Palace in Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie revolutionized modern gin production by combining distillates from two vastly different historic copper vessels—a rich 1860 Bennett pot still and an elegant 1948 Carter-Head vapour infusion still. This dual-distillation approach is elevated by the brand's iconic signature infusion of crisp cucumber and Bulgarian Rosa Damascena rose petals. Beyond the flagship spirit, Hendrick's continues to pioneer the category through Gracie's acclaimed Cabinet of Curiosities releases, featuring imaginative limited editions such as Lunar, Neptunia, and Grand Cabaret.
