✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hendrick's, produced in Girvan, Scotland, by William Grant & Sons, is a renowned producer of distilled spirits, categorized here under 'Other' as it is not a traditional grape-based wine. The production process typically utilizes two distinct types of stills: a Bennett pot still and a Carter-Head copper column still. This combination distills a neutral grain spirit infused with a proprietary blend of botanicals, classically highlighted by cucumber and Bulgarian rose petals. Because this is a distilled spirit, it does not feature a grape blend, vineyard terroir, or traditional wine aging processes, focusing instead on botanical infusion and distillation precision.
🍾 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.
