Cucumber and rose have been Hendrick's signature for more than 25 years. So when master distiller Lesley Gracie set out to create something new, she kept the familiar backbone and added orange blossom and cacao beans instead.
Expert's description
Hendrick's Another is a Scottish Dry Gin distilled at Hendrick's Gin Palace in Girvan and bottled at 41.4%.
The gin is distilled on the two distinctive stills from 1966, a Bennett still built in 1860 and a rare Carter-Head still from 1948, both bought at auction by Hendrick's founder Charles Gordon from the closed-down Taplow distillery in London.
The Bennett still produces a fuller, more robust spirit, while the Carter-Head lends a lighter, more fragrant character. The two distillates are then married with Hendrick's signature cucumber and rose infusions.
For Another, Lesley Gracie added orange blossom and cacao beans to the 11 classic botanicals, creating a spicier, creamier take on the familiar Hendrick's style.
Tasting notes
Nose
The nose offers soft, floral orange blossom and a hint of cacao layered over the classic juniper base.
Palate
The palate is round with juniper at its core, waves of citrus and a dry, cacao-tinged depth that gives the gin a creamy fullness.
Finish
The finish is smooth and rounded, with a last note of dark cacao and light sweetness from the orange blossom.

Did you know?
Hendrick's two signature stills have their own history: the Bennett still dates from 1860, while the Carter-Head still from 1948 was originally built to rectify the rougher spirit of its era.
