Hendricks, Gin
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a distilled spirit with a high alcohol by volume, it does not age or improve in the bottle. It has an indefinite shelf life when stored in a cool, dark place, though it is best consumed within 1 to 2 years after opening to maintain the optimal intensity of its volatile botanical aromas.

✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hendrick's is a prominent brand of gin produced by William Grant & Sons at the Girvan distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland. Launched in 1999, this distilled spirit is unique for its production method, which utilizes two distinct stills: a 19th-century Bennett copper pot still and a Carter-Head still. The resulting distillates are blended and infused with its signature flavorings of Bulgarian Rosa damascena (rose) and selected cucumbers, alongside eleven traditional botanicals including juniper, coriander, angelica root, lemon peel, orange peel, chamomile, cubeb berries, caraway seeds, elderflower, and yarrow root.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Hendrick's blev lanceret i 1999 af det familieejede destilleri William Grant & Sons og fremstilles i det dedikerede Gin Palace i Girvan i det skotske Ayrshire. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie revolutionerede moderne ginproduktion ved at forene destillater fra to vidt forskellige, historiske kobberkedler: en fyldig Bennett pot still fra 1860 og en elegant Carter-Head vapour infusion still fra 1948. Denne dobbeltdestillation fuldendes af brandets ikoniske signaturinfusion med sprød agurk og bulgarske Rosa Damascena-rosenblade. Ud over den klassiske flagskibsgin fortsætter Hendrick's med at være en pioner inden for kategorien gennem Gracies anmelderroste Cabinet of Curiosities-serie, der byder på opfindsomme særudgaver som Lunar, Neptunia og Grand Cabaret.
