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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Launched in 1999 by William Grant & Sons in Girvan, Scotland, Hendrick's Gin revolutionized the modern gin category under the visionary guidance of Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. Distilled at the Girvan Distillery, Hendrick's is uniquely crafted using two distinct, historical stills: a Bennett copper pot still dating back to 1860 and a 1948 Carter-Head still, which together create a harmonious blend of heavy and light spirits. This intricate distillation process is defined by its signature infusion of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and specially selected cucumbers, alongside eleven traditional botanicals. The resulting spirit is a highly acclaimed, wonderfully unusual gin renowned for its remarkably fresh, floral, and cucumber-forward profile, iconically housed in a dark, apothecary-style bottle.
