Hendrick’s Lunar

Hendrick's Gin in it's distinctive apothecary-style bottle is a floral gin produced by William Grant & Sons in Scotland. Launched in 1999, the brand rapidly found success within the international spirits industry. The botanical profile of Hendrick's gin is particularly floral with the inclusion of chamomile, elderflower and Bulgarian rose to compliment the lemon peel, orange peel, cubeb berries and of course, juniper. The addition of angelica root, yarrow root and orris root add structure and a distinct backbone to the flavor profile whilst the infusion of cucumber adds freshness. The bottled Hendrick's gin is a blend from the two stills with an addition of cucumber and rose petal essences. 

Hendrick’s Master Distiller, Leslie Gracie was inspired by Ayrshire coast of Scotland and her botanical garden at night when she designed the recipe for Hendrick’s Lunar. She elaborated on the aroma of the end product, “there is the rich aroma of night scented flowers.”

Moderate intensity with a floral lean. Honeysuckle and dusty violet sit atop piney juniper on the nose with coriander and indistinct spice. Lunar Gin is predominantly floral on the palate. Early, soapy violet with jasmine facets. It settles into a surprisingly spice-led heart of juniper, black peppercorns, Pink Lady Apple and roses.
