Nose: Huge, intense nose with an initial burst of crisp zesty botanicals harmoniously balanced juniper and coriander and a deep, surprisingly floral aroma of violets and rose. Palate: Smooth and superbly balanced botanicals. Clean and dry without being in any way astringent. The complexity of the nose comes through in the taste; citrus and juniper with a subtle lingering finish of cool refreshing cucumber and rose. Finish: In addition to the traditional juniper infusion, Hendrick’s uses Bulgarian rose and cucumber to add flavor. Serve: Hendrick’s Gin and Tonic For a delightfully refreshing tipple, serve Hendrick’s Gin over ice, top up with tonic and garnish with a slice of cucumber to fully appreciate the infusion of rose petal and cucumber in this most unusual gin.
