Gin review: Hendrick's Gin (41.4% Scotland: William Grant & Sons)



Gin has traditionally been the choice of the working class and thus, Hendrick's Gin is a rarity among gins. It is among the new wave of gins, which seek to raise among other prestigious liquors, such as whisky and cognac. Launched in 1999, Hendrick's Gin is produced by William Grant & Sons, the third largest producer of Scotch whisky. Despite the size of its producer Hendrick's Gin is made in small batches, only 450 liters per batch. In addition to the traditional aromas of juniper, Hendrick's Gin promises aromas of rose and cucumber. It comes in a stylish apothecary-style bottle.

Taste: A sophisticated, delicate, albeit at first pungent aroma of juniper accompanied by a hint of rose, lemon and the subtle taste of cucumber. 

Overall, Hendrick's Gin is a very pleasant gin to be savored. Suitable even for people who aren't normally into gin since the aroma of juniper is more mature, smoother and the aromas of rose and cucumber lessen the bitterness of it.
