Hendrick's Gin was born from the tradition and great experience of Scottish master distillers. The production process brings to mind that of Whiskey, it is performed through two discontinuous copper stills, this to best enhance the purest and most refined aromas of the distinct botanicals used.

The traditional blend of herbs and spices is used in the preparation, but Bulgarian rose petals and local cucumbers are also added during distillation. To make the quality of the distillate even higher, it is produced in small batches of 450 liters, also to be able to keep every step under control. Many small tricks used to have a unique and almost unobtainable Gin.

A transparent and clear liqueur, which conquers the nose with clear citrus sensations of lemon, lime and cedar, mixed with more spicy nuances of black pepper and juniper, and some mentholated and balsamic gust of eucalyptus. In the mouth it is extremely soft and balanced, followed by the right freshness of cucumber accompanied by the delicate sweetness of the rose, releasing an aromatic and very refined finish.
