<p>The beautiful palate of rose, cucumber, and pine is augmented by exotic rainforest herbal notes.</p><p>Hendrick’s Gin was launched by <em>William Grant & Sons</em> in 1999. It’s produced at their <em>Girvan Distillery</em> in South Ayrshire, Scotland — built in <em>1963</em>. Somewhat famously, the distillery was built in a hurry due to a quarrel between William Grant & Sons and a supplier — Distillers Company Limited (DCL). From ground break to production took a short nine months. They produce several <em>Single Malt </em>and <em>blended Whiskies</em> there, in addition to Hendrick’s Gins.</p><p>Hendrick’s Gin is definitely <em>one of our favorites.</em> The line is super-high-quality and the flavor profile of the entire line leans towards a soft palate with brilliant aromatic florals. This combination makes Hendrick’s not just our Gin of choice for a Vesper Martini — it’s our secret weapon. So, we were really excited to get our hands on a few cases of <em>Hendrick’s Amazonia Gin. </em>It’s not a part of the core lineup. Most of the time you have to find it in those duty-free travel retail outlets. It’s built on top of the signature Hendrick’s rose and cucumber infused Spirit with the addition of exotic <em>South American botanicals.</em></p><p><u>Smartass Corner:</u><em>Master Distiller Lesley Gracie spent three weeks in the Amazon Rainforest learning about native plants. The special formulation of Hendrick’s Amazonia is inspired by that experience.</em></p>
