✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Hendrick's blev lanceret i 1999 af det uafhængige, familiedrevne destilleri William Grant & Sons og antændte den moderne craft gin-renæssance fra kystbyen Girvan i South Ayrshire i Skotland. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie skabte ginnen ud fra en ukonventionel destillationsmetode med to forskellige kedeltyper. Her forenes tunge, fyldige destillater fra en antik Bennett pot still fra 1860 med delikate, æteriske botaniske dampe, der indfanges i en sjælden Carter-Head-kedel fra 1948. De to destillater afstemmes med stor præcision, hvorefter de kold-infuseres med Gracies ikoniske signatur af bulgarske damaskusrosenblade og frisk agurkeessens. I 2018 rykkede produktionen ind i det specialbyggede Hendrick's Gin Palace, som rummer specialiserede væksthuse med middelhavsplanter og tropiske botanicals til eksperimentelle mikrodestillationer. Ud over det oprindelige flagskib udforsker Gracie nye grænser i sit laboratorium, 'Cabinet of Curiosities', hvor hun skaber nyskabende særudgaver som Orbium, Neptunia, Flora Adora og Grand Cabaret – alle kendetegnet ved floral kompleksitet, uspoleret maritim renhed og livlige, urtede aromaprofiler.
