Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice is a limited-edition distilled gin produced at the Hendrick's Gin Palace in Girvan, Scotland. Classified under the 'Other' category as a distilled spirit, it is crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie using a combination of two different stills: a Bennett copper pot still and a Carter-Head copper column still. The spirit is infused with Hendrick's traditional cucumber and rose essences, alongside an additional proprietary selection of floral botanicals inspired by the summer solstice. It does not undergo oak aging or vintage-based maturation.
🍾 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.
