✨ Technical Specifications
Hendrick's Lunar is a distilled gin produced at the Girvan Distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland. Classified under the 'Other' category as a distilled spirit, it is a limited-release expression created by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. The spirit is crafted using a combination of a Bennett copper pot still and a Carter-Head still, utilizing a blend of traditional botanicals alongside an infusion of night-blooming florals, rose, and cucumber. It features a profile defined by subtle stone fruit, warm spice, and soft floral aromas.
🍾 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.
