Despite being incredibly popular in the US, this gin is actually distilled in Britain. The exact location is a place in South Ayrshire in Scotland, Girvan. What makes the location so special is that it’s near a volcanic isle, Aisla Craig.

What is Hendricks Gin Made From?

Hendrick’s unique flavour profile comes from its infusion of eleven botanicals, along with notes of cucumber and rose. Some of the botanicals used include: juniper, elderflower, chamomile, orange peel and lemon peel.

What Does Hendricks Gin Taste Like?

Hendrick’s is a dry but smooth gin. It has notes of rose and cucumber, with undertones of zestiness and florals from their perfected botanical blend. It’s known for its distinctive flavour profile. You’ll often see Hendrick’s Gin paired with a garnish of cucumber, and you may be wondering why.
