About This Spirit from the Maker
The original Hendrick's Gin, oddly infused with cucumber and rose.
HENDRICK’S is an unusual gin created from eleven fine botanicals. The curious, yet marvellous, infusions of rose & cucumber imbue our spirit with its uniquely balanced flavour resulting in an impeccably smooth distinct gin.
HENDRICK’S 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 HENDRICK’S 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.

How We Feel About the Spirit
Hendrick’s Gin: A Classic Worth Keeping in the Sipping Room
Some bottles earn their place in a collection through rarity, age, or a story that borders on myth. Others earn it through something far simpler — reliability, craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of a spirit that knows exactly what it is. Hendrick’s Gin falls squarely into that second category, and that’s precisely why it now lives in our Sipping Room.
We didn’t add Hendrick’s because it’s elusive or extravagant. We added it because it’s essential. A well‑made, beautifully balanced gin that every home bar deserves, especially one built with intention.
A Gin With a Signature Style
Hendrick’s has always stood a little apart from the pack. Distilled in small batches and infused with its now‑iconic duo of rose and cucumber, it manages to be both classic and whimsical — a gin that respects tradition while still nudging the boundaries of flavor.
It’s crisp without being sharp. Botanical without being busy. Floral without drifting into perfume. In short, it’s the kind of gin that plays well with others, whether you’re building a cocktail or pouring a simple G&T at the end of a long day.
Why It Belongs in Our Collection
Our Sipping Room isn’t about trophies. It’s about intention — curating bottles that serve a purpose, tell a story, or elevate a ritual. Hendrick’s fits that philosophy perfectly.
It’s a dependable “well” gin — the kind you reach for without thinking, knowing it will deliver every time.
It anchors the gin section of our bar, giving us a versatile base spirit for guests and for our own cocktail experiments.
It’s familiar, but never boring, which makes it a quiet hero in a room full of louder personalities.
Some bottles are conversation starters. Hendrick’s is a conversation keeper — the one that shows up again and again, quietly making every pour better.
A Bottle That Completes the Room
In a collection filled with bold bourbons, expressive ryes, and the occasional showpiece whiskey, Hendrick’s brings balance. It reminds us that not every bottle needs a dramatic backstory to be worthy. Sometimes, the value lies in consistency, craftsmanship, and the simple pleasure of having a spirit you can count on.
Adding Hendrick’s to our Sipping Room wasn’t about chasing something rare. It was about honoring the classics — the bottles that make a bar feel complete.
And now that it’s here, the room feels just a little more grounded, a little more versatile, and a lot more ready for whatever cocktail moment comes next.
