HENDRICK’S GIN

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: The nose has juniper, but the musky hint of rose lightens it and gives it a floral forward impression. Sweet orange, lime zest and a hint of elderflower as well. The pine notes give it structure, but the floral notes give it a unique character.

Taste: The palate exudes a backbone of a very classic gin. You get the angelica, coriander, juniper and orris root accord. Late palate a faint hint of yarrow (that slight salty liquorice flavour) and black pepper.

Finish: The finish is fairly long, with a serious juniper backed astringency. Notes of soaked rose petal, lime, Persian cucumbers, Earl Grey Tea and a surprising bitterness. A dull warmth of the spirit emanates quietly from the back of the palate.
