✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Launched in 1999 by family-owned distiller William Grant & Sons, Hendrick's is crafted at the dedicated Gin Palace in Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie revolutionized modern gin production by combining distillates from two vastly different historic copper vessels—a rich 1860 Bennett pot still and an elegant 1948 Carter-Head vapour infusion still. This dual-distillation approach is elevated by the brand's iconic signature infusion of crisp cucumber and Bulgarian Rosa Damascena rose petals. Beyond the flagship spirit, Hendrick's continues to pioneer the category through Gracie's acclaimed Cabinet of Curiosities releases, featuring imaginative limited editions such as Lunar, Neptunia, and Grand Cabaret.
