✨ Technical Specifications
Hendrick's Orbium is a distilled gin produced in Girvan, Scotland, by William Grant & Sons. Crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, this spirit is an evolution of the original Hendrick's Gin recipe. It is infused with additional botanicals, notably blue lotus blossom, cinchona bark (quinine), and wormwood, which complement the signature cucumber and rose distillates. The production involves a combination of two different stills—the Bennett pot still and the Carter-Head copper column still—to extract a balance of heavy and light botanical characters. The resulting spirit is dry, herbaceous, and distinctly bitter.
🍾 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.
