The small bottle carries the same curious, Victorian spirit as the original: two distillates, cucumber and Bulgarian rose, just in a size that fits in a pocket or serves as a taster.
Expert's description
Hendrick's Gin Miniature is a Scottish gin distilled at William Grant & Sons in Girvan and bottled at 41.4% in a 5cl bottle.
The gin is crafted by Lesley Gracie, who combines spirit from two very different stills: a traditional pot still from 1860, built by Bennett, Sons & Shears, and a Carter-Head still from 1948, of which only a few exist in the world.
After distillation, essence of cucumber and Bulgarian rose is added, giving Hendrick's its distinctive, unorthodox flavour profile that breaks with the traditional juniper-heavy style.
The miniature bottle is ideal as a gift or for trying Hendrick's distinctive style before investing in the full-size bottle.
