Hendrick’s Another Gin (44% - 700ml)

It is the first permanent entry into the portfolio in almost ten years, since the arrival of Orbium in 2017. The name itself already clarifies the project’s intention: not simply a new Hendrick’s, but a different way of interpreting its identity.

Another Hendrick’s is built on the brand’s classic structure: 13 botanicals, 11 of which are distilled separately through two profoundly different historic stills. The Carter-Head Still, one of the very few surviving examples in the world, processes the botanicals with steam and extracts the most delicate, floral and light tones. The Bennett Still from 1864, by contrast, involves a 24-hour maceration followed by boiling, producing a more intense and deep distillate. It is however in the infusion phase that this new expression truly takes a different direction: the classic cucumber and rose base is joined by orange blossom and cocoa. The result is a gin that remains clearly recognizable as Hendrick’s, yet redefines its aromatic profile by softening the more vegetal and immediate component in favour of a softer, more enveloping and velvety texture.

Even the bottle, one of the brand’s most iconic features, changes appearance: instead of the usual intense black of the Original, a brilliant white appears — a visual choice that underlines the unprecedented character of this new interpretation. Perfect in a Gin & Tonic with a neutral tonic, it also reveals its full versatility in mixing, where it enhances both classic and structured cocktails such as Martini and Negroni.
