Gin

Producer Desription

No other gin taste like Hendrick's because no other gin is made like Hendrick's. They infuse the gin with the remarkable Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and specially selected cucumbers from the finest producers. The Bennett seeps the botanicals in spirit overnight prior to distillation resulting in a rich, complex liquid. Whereas the Carter-Head gently steams the botanicals in a basket atop its lofty neck, so influence is imparted upon the spirit in something akin to a botanical steam bath. This yields a lighter, more delicate spirit. The harmonious combination of the Bennett and Carter-Head stills create an unusually smooth gin like no other that has the required character and balance of subtle flavors.

Expert Review

92 Points Wine Enthusiast | This gin has a fierce following, in part because of its quirky brand personality (see the Monty Python-esque website) and aggressive marketing among bartenders. But it lives up to the hype. Some might expect a more concentrated rosewater-cucumber profile, but it's relatively subtle, with just a hint of cucumber mingling with juniper in the aroma, and white pepper, citrus and floral notes on the lingering finish.

Falstaff -The style is more citrus-driven, but otherwise classic with a fine peppery spice and a hint of almonds. The texture of lemon curd on the palate, with a peppery spice on the finish. Elegant finish. - 91 Points

Producer Description 

The first sniffings find toasty notes of charcoal and minerals more than botanicals; later inhalations following aeration stir glimpses of fabric, hemp and butter. The palate entry is firm, moderately sweet and nearly plump; at midpalate the taste profile turns a bit drier, if a touch fruity. Ends up uncomplicated and grainy sweet.

Only in the desert can you truly understand refreshment. So, our plucky Hendrick’s Master Distiller Ms. Lesley Gracie travelled to just such a place for inspiration (yes, she really did!). After a game of camel polo she saw the most welcome sight – the vivid colours of the oasis! This is no mirage!

Captivated by this lush paradise and the party of spectacular beasts in attendance, Gracie had an idea. By combining the aromatic herbs and bright fruits of a desert oasis she could create a new expression of Hendrick’s like no other. From the Oasis came forth Oasium (pronounced oh-ace-e-yum).

Silky verdant green notes sing in delicious harmony with fresh aromatic herbs and a wonderfully fresh citrus finish. The classic juniper character of Hendrick’s Gin reaches new heights with a romantic entwinement of lush green aromas, deep delicate herbal tones, and a small touch of invigorating citrus. Oasium lives to be served in a Gin & Tonic. While those in search of exuberant extravagance may wish to experience the untold delights of an Oasium Fizz which entertains the zingy deliciousness of pink grapefruit in a flavour tour de force to scintillate your every guest!

What was Ms Lesley Gracie doing at a faraway desert oasis, and why on earth was she playing camel polo? Such absurd questions are best considered while supping the magnificently bright aromatic gin this inexplicable experience inspired. Here is an astonishingly exquisite expression of Hendrick’s Gin to make a welcome oasis of every shared cocktail hour. This is no mirage, meet the 8th glorious expression of Hendrick’s Gin!

In a 200-year-old company with sixteen bodegas, sometimes suprising things get found. In this case, Barbadillo discovered old tonic wines of indeterminate age and recipe, and called on winemaker Montserrat Molina to develop a new vermouth recipe to approximate the flavor profiles of what they had found.

The result, Atamán, is a potently delicious sipping vermouth built on Manzanilla sherry with quassia, bitter orange, wormwood, elderberry and rosemary dominating the botanical roster.

Expert Review - Vintage 2015

Paul Gregutt from the Wine Enthusiast writes 95 Points | From Draper clone vines planted in 1965, this bright gold-hued wine brings myriad details to its apple, jicama, white peach and nut oil flavors. A whiff of smoke carries throughout, and its sheer complexity strains the vocabulary. Stay with it as more subtle layers unfold. Though seductive now, it should mature well through 2030. — Paul Gregutt 

James Suckling 92 Points | A layered and fresh white with cooked apples, honey and straw. Medium- to full- bodied, creamy and textured wine with fresh and pretty fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Batch distilled in the original victorial copper stills, Plymouth Navy Strength Gin is rich yet impeccably balanced. It is perfect for the adventurous spirit drinkers of the world, and takes a gin and tonic to a whole new level.

Plymouth Gin is a style and brand of gin that has been distilled on the same premises on the Barbican in Plymouth, Devon, since 1793. The site of production, the Plymouth Gin Distillery, was built in 1431 and is reputed to have once been a monastery of the Dominican Order, widely known as "Black Friars" (notice the tiny friar embossed on the bottle). Intense, bold and aromatic, for almost two centuries, no Royal Navy ship left port without it. A multi-award-winner that’s strong enough to fire cannons.
