✨ Technical Specifications
Hendrick's Grand Cabaret is a limited-release distilled gin produced at the Hendrick's Gin Palace in Girvan, Scotland. Created by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, this spirit is built upon the traditional Hendrick's foundation of eleven botanicals distilled in Bennett and Carter-Head stills, with the signature infusions of cucumber and rose. The Grand Cabaret expression is further enhanced with natural stone fruit flavors, primarily peach and apricot, alongside sweet herbs, resulting in a fruit-forward botanical profile. It is bottled at 43% ABV.
🍾 About the Producer
Introduced in 1999 by independent family distillers William Grant & Sons, Hendrick's ignited the modern craft gin renaissance from the coastal town of Girvan in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie conceived the spirit using an unconventional dual-still distillation architecture, marrying heavy, robust distillates from an antique 1860 Bennett pot still with delicate, ethereal botanical vapors captured by a rare 1948 Carter-Head still. The two fractions are carefully harmonized before receiving Gracie's signature post-distillation cold infusions of Bulgarian Damask rose petals and crisp cucumber essence. In 2018, operations moved into the purpose-built Hendrick's Gin Palace, which includes specialized hothouses fostering Mediterranean and tropical botanicals for experimental micro-distillations. Beyond the benchmark original expression, Gracie showcases limited releases through her 'Cabinet of Curiosities' laboratory, featuring boundary-pushing expressions like Orbium, Neptunia, Flora Adora, and Grand Cabaret, defined by floral complexity, pristine maritime purity, and bright, herbaceous aromatics.
