Review: Hendricks Gin

Hendricks Gin was released in 1999 by the William Grant and Sons Distillery.  This distillery is best known for the Scotch Whiskey they have been creating since 1887.  Those brands include Glenfiddich and The Balvenie.  This was the culmination of an 11 year journey by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie to craft a spirit using 2 stills purchased at auction in 1966 by Charles Gordon, the great grandson of company founder William Grant.  Hendricks Gin is a blend of spirits made with a Bennet still built by coppersmiths in London in 1860, and a Carter-Head still manufactured with a vapor driven flavor basket by John Dore and Co. in 1948.  Eleven botanicals including yarrow, juniper, elderflower, orange peel, angelica root, caraway, coriander, chamomile, cubeb berry, orris root, and lemon are used in two separate small batch distillations with the two different stills.  Each 500 liter batch is then blended with the other before the gin is infused with Bulgarian rose pedals and specially selected cucumbers from the finest producers.  After bottling at 88 proof the warning ” IT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE” is printed on the back label.The aroma is juniper, and citrus, with coriander and floral notes.  The entry has juniper and cucumber flavor with the citrus notes of orange and lemons arriving almost immediately.  At the midpoint there is floral taste that fades with coriander and a nutty flavor before a rose pedal and cucumber with a warm dry spicy citrus peel and berry finish that leaves a mild sting and a touch of licorice taste.  While Hendricks Gin is known as the gin made with cucumber, there may not be enough cucumber flavor to stand out in a cocktail.  Served neat, cucumber is probably the fifth most obvious flavor.  Hendricks Gin is a well crafted gin that will not limit your cocktail options and it is not as unusual tasting as they would like you to believe.
