A DECADENT GIN FOR FREE SPIRITED SOULS

Calling all dreamers, artists and free-spirited souls! Captivated by a historic fruit-based libation that was in vogue in Paris in the early 20thCentury, Ms Lesley Gracie has created a decadently delicious, pleasure-seeking expression of Hendricks that is imbued with untamed exuberance and poetry.

This exquisitely extravagant expression boasts a rich ensemble of bright flavours that seduce the senses. It seems that stone fruit flavours, rose scents and gin were a magical combination in the most opulent of establishments in Paris at the turn of the 20th Century, and eaux de vies, peach schnapps, cherry liqueurs and the like were the in thing for those who had the means to celebrate in spectacular style.

Our Master Distiller, alchemist and liquid poet Lesley Gracie has deftly combined these flavours into a ravishingly fruity spirit, where pirouettes of decadent stone fruit share the stage with sweet herbs and make for an elegant sensory feast that is deliciously indulgent and yet as light as silk.

This is a bright, bold gin that has a rich depth and layers of flavour and yet is still refreshing and light its ideal in a Hendricks Grand Cabaret and Tonic. If you want to be a little more fancy, the Hendricks Grand Cabaret Royale is an indulgent way to toast tantalising celebrations and combines Hendricks Grand Cabaret, cranberry, lime and a touch of sugar syrup which is topped with Champagne or sparkling wine for added decadence.

ALL OF HENDRICK\’S GINS ARE INFUSED WITH THE CURIOUS YET MARVELLOUS ESSENCES OF ROSE AND CUCUMBER.

HENDRICKS GIN is created via an absurdly inefficient, yet quite glorious process. In essence, to make one gin, we first create two. One on an old-fashioned pot still, yielding a rich and intricate spirit. The other on a long-necked Carter Head, producing a delicate, more refined spirit. Each still is infused with an unusual symphony of 11 botanicals: chamomile, elderflower, juniper, lemon peel, orange peel, caraway, coriander, cubeb berries, angelica root, yarrow root and orris root. The gins from the two stills are then married together and graced with curious yet marvellous infusions of Rose and Cucumber.

This odd method of making gin enables HENDRICKS to taste light, yet intriguingly complex. The result is a wondrously refreshing gin with a delightfully floral aroma, elevating any gin cocktail and all occasions.
