Hendrick’s Neptunia

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. 

Inspired by the invigorating coastal air and the endless mysteries of the sea, Hendrick's Master Distiller Ms. Lesley Gracie considered a bold possibility: expressing the glorious sensory delights of the sea, in a gin. Infused with an exquisite blend of locally sourced coastal botanicals and with a remarkable crisp citrus finish.

Hints of kelp/saline add a seaside character to a brightly citrus nose. Herbal and floral facets, including a hint of chamomile, lend Neptunia Gin a round and complex nose, with a hint of green juniper to balance things out. Citrus is surprisingly prominent throughout the palate. Orange zest segues into slightly herbal and green juniper. Quite dry finish, suggesting the possibility of actual saline.
