Hendrick's Neptunia is a limited-release distilled gin produced in Girvan, Ayrshire, Scotland. Categorized under the 'Other' designation, this spirit is crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie as part of the Cabinet of Curiosities series. It builds upon the classic Hendrick's recipe of eleven botanicals, rose, and cucumber by incorporating a selection of locally sourced coastal botanicals, including sea kelp, coastal thyme, and lime. The production process involves distillation in both a Bennett copper pot still and a Carter-Head column still, creating a spirit with a distinct maritime character, herbal complexity, and citrus undertones.
🍾 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.
