Hendrick’s Gin - History, Price, Fragrance & Taste

The Fascinating History of Hendrick’s Gin

The story of Hendrick’s Gin isn’t your typical gin tale— it’s a narrative of creativity, risk -taking, and a touch of eccentricity. It all began in the late 1990s, at a time when gin was making a bit of a comeback. William Grant & Sons, a family-owned distillery nestled in Scotland, decided to step into the gin market, but they didn’t want to create just another gin. They wanted something different, something that would truly stand out.

Enter the young Lesley Gracie, a master distiller with a degree in chemistry, who would go on to creat Hendrick’s. A distiller known for her innovative spirit and willingness to push boundaries. True to her nature, she took on the challenge of crafting a gin that would be remembered, defying expectations and introducing a surprise in the world of gin, even for the most seasoned gin drinkers.

Hendrick’s Uniqueness:

The uniqueness lies in the fact that its making involves two very different stills: the Bennette still and the Carter-Head still. The Bennett still is a small copper pot still that produces a rich, full-bodies gin. In contrast, the Carter-Head still, a rare find in the world of distilling, creates a lighter and more delicate spirit. Blending the two gins created a balance that is both complex and harmonious.

But, the story of innovation did not end there…

While most gins let juniper take the lead, Hendrick’s chose a different path. Hendrick’s is infused with an unexpected combination of Bulgarian rose petals and cucumber, adding layers of subtlety and intrigue. Definitely, a bold move! But, it paid off. Since its launch in 1999, Hendrick’s has not only won over gin enthusiasts worldwide but has also gained a reputation for being a gin that breaks the mold.

Everything about Hendrick’s, from its distinctive flavour profile to its quirky branding and apothecary’s-style bottle, speaks to its commitment to standing out . It’s gin that does not just follow tradition; it’ reinvents it, inviting drinkers to experience something truly special.

The Fragrance and Taste-

Fragrance-

The first thing that hits you when you pour a Hendrick’s drink is its subtle and intriguing aroma. The scent of freshly cut cucumbers mingles with the delicate sweetness of rose, creating a fragrance that’s both refreshing and inviting. You will witness juniper, but it does not dominate your palate, but you will find its presence amicably mingling with other two characters of the drink, giving them centre stage. 

Taste-

Hendrick’s first sip is more than what you would expect from a regular gin, it is smooth with a unique taste. The cucumber brings a crisp, clean note that’s almost cooling, clean while the rose adds a floral sweetness that lingers just long enough. The juniper and other condiments provide a balanced backdrop, making the gin complex yet incredibly familiar. Because of its flavour, it has become a favourite for cocktails, as its versatility and distinct flavour makes it a perfect match for everything from a classic G&T to a more creative concoction.
