Hendricks Gin
Hendrick’s Gin is introduced as a wonderfully peculiar, distinctly aromatic and beautifully crafted spirit from Ayrshire, Scotland—deliberately set apart from the “humdrum gins” of the world. Produced in minuscule 450‑litre batches, it is made using an extraordinary dual‑still method: the Carter‑Head still, which yields a light, smooth and delicately fragrant spirit, and the Bennett still, which produces a deeper, richer, more robust distillate. The marriage of these two spirits forms the foundation of Hendrick’s unmistakably balanced character. The aroma opens with an unusually intense burst of crisp botanicals—juniper, coriander, citrus zest—layered with a deep, surprising floral lift of violets and rose. This signature perfume is elevated by Hendrick’s famous “coup de grâce”: the infusion of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena petals and Dutch cucumber, which together create a refreshing, cool and delightfully floral bouquet. On the palate, it offers a curiously smooth, impeccably clean and dry texture with a superb balance of botanicals. The bright citrus and juniper notes shine through, supported by subtle spice and a soft, lingering finish of cooling cucumber and rose. The complexity of the nose translates seamlessly into flavour, making each sip both refined and intriguingly unusual. Presented in its iconic Victorian apothecary‑style bottle, Hendrick’s stands as a distinctive and imaginative addition to any drinks collection. Anyone who enjoys floral, refreshing and elegantly unconventional gins will find Hendrick’s a memorable and wonderfully eccentric choice.
Tanqueray No. Ten
Launched in 2000, Tanqueray No. Ten owes its name to pot still number 10, affectionately known as Tiny Ten. This small batch gin is meticulously crafted using whole fresh citrus fruits, including oranges, limes, and grapefruit, complemented by chamomile flowers and other traditional botanicals. Each sip delivers a vibrant burst of citrus. Remarkably, it remains the only gin to be inducted into the San Francisco World Spirits Competition Hall of Fame. This iconic spirit makes an exceptional Martini. Its perfumed, aromatic nose reveals notes of tangy grapefruit zest, creamy custard, and clean juniper. On the palate, it offers an impeccable blend of clean, spicy juniper with hints of Earl Grey tea and cardamom, all enriched by a pronounced citrus character. The finish is long and zesty.
