A limited release crafted especially for the creative gin drinker, Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin is a bold and unforgettable twist on classic gin. And it’s heaven for cocktails!
The gin is a nod to indulgence, poetry and extravagance. It makes the biggest release in the Hendrick’s Gin Cabinet of Curiosities collection, which includes Hendrick’s Amazonia, Hendrick’s Flora Adora, Hendrick’s Lunar, Hendrick’s Midsummer Solstice and Hendrick’s Neptunia.
Backstory
Master distiller, Leslie Grace says that inspiration for the drop came from reading stories about a stone fruit eau de vie served with a little gin and a touch of rose. Back in the early 1900s, it was the sip of choice.
“I added sweet herbs to round the vibrant fruit out. It’s the first time I’ve experimented with stone fruits and I love how it adds a decadent depth of flavour, whilst maintaining a refreshing lightness,” Leslie explains.
Taste profile
Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret is a balancing act of classic juniper, sweet stone fruits and fresh cucumber notes. The cabaret of fruit flavours is rounded out with aromatic herbs for a smooth, fragrant and delectably different sip.
