A little about Hendrick’s 

Introduced in 1999, Hendrick’s is a brand that has a wonderful portfolio of gins. Produced by William Grant & Sons, the distillery is located in the seaside village of Girvan, Scotland. This distillery is called as the Hendrick’s Gin Palace and it also overlooks the mysterious volcanic island of Ailsa Craig. Lesley Gracie – The master distiller is the person who invented this brand after she was appointed by William Grant & Sons to work on new liquid development. 

One highlight of this brand is that during 1999, each batch of Hendrick’s Gin was crafted only 500 litres at a time. This method is still used today thus making it a gem in the world of gins. 

The Bennett & Carter Head Stills – These are the two stills that are responsible for the unusually smooth character and subtle balance of flavors. The Bennett still is used for steeping the botanicals overnight in spirit which results in a rich complex liquid. The Carter Head still is used for steaming the botanicals in a basket above its neck resulting in a rich complex liquid. This process can be named as a botanical steam bath which curates a lighter and delicate spirit. 

The brand new Neptunia Gin 

Created in the Hendrick’s Gin Palace, Neptunia Gin expresses the glorious sensory delights of the coast. Inspired by the Ayrshire coast’s waves and infused with an exquisite blend of locally sourced coastal botanicals. This gin is a part of the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ range which was started in the year 2019. This range is all about a series of experimentation gins done by the master distiller Lesley Grace. 

“Most of my creations are based on memories – I play around with botanicals and combine them to recreate certain sensations.”

– Lesley Grace.
