FAQs
Hendricks Gin typically retails from €35 to €45 for a standard 70cl bottle. The Hendricks Orbium, Amazonia, Lunar, and Neptunia seasonal and permanent expressions in the cabinet range sit at €45 to €60. The Hendricks Grand Cabaret and Master Distiller's Private Collection limited releases can command considerably higher prices. As one of the most successful premium gin brands globally, Hendricks pricing reflects its market position and the genuine quality and distinctiveness of its production.
Hendricks is almost always served with a slice of cucumber rather than citrus, a garnish choice that complements the gin's distinctive rose petal and cucumber botanical character, which comes from post distillation addition of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and fresh cucumber essence. Serve in a large balloon copa over plenty of ice with a premium light tonic. The cucumber amplifies the floral and fresh notes in the spirit rather than competing with them as citrus garnishes would.
Yes. Hendricks is produced in Girvan, Scotland, using a combination of Bennett and Carter Head copper pot stills, distilling a neutral grain spirit base with a botanical selection. The distillation removes gluten proteins from the base spirit to below detectable levels. The post distillation addition of Bulgarian rose petal and cucumber essence adds no gluten. Hendricks is considered gluten free and safe for individuals with gluten intolerance.
Hendricks pairs best with mixers and garnishes that complement rather than compete with its rose petal, cucumber, elderflower, and juniper character. Premium light Indian tonic is the default serve with cucumber as garnish. Elderflower tonic amplifies the floral notes. A Hendricks Gin Cucumber Collins, with fresh cucumber juice, lemon, sugar syrup, and soda, is a natural progression from the standard G&T. Avoid heavily flavoured tonics, which mask the distinctly delicate character this gin is built around.
Hendricks Gin is owned by William Grant and Sons, the Scottish family owned spirits group that also produces Glenfiddich, Balvenie, Grant's Scotch, Monkey Shoulder, Tullamore D.E.W., and Reyka Vodka. Hendricks was created at the Girvan Distillery in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and first launched in 1999 as a deliberate departure from the mainstream London Dry style. William Grant and Sons remains wholly family owned, which is increasingly unusual for a company of its scale.
