Hendrick's Gin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hendrick's Gin is a brand of gin produced by William Grant & Sons in Girvan, Scotland. In addition to the traditional Juniper infusion, Hendrick's uses a hint of Bulgarian Rose followed by a mash of cucumber. Hendrick's Gin is bottled in a brown apothecary-style bottle.

[edit] Distillation
Hendricks uses a Carter-Head Still, of which there are only four in the world. Built in the 19th century, it has been restored by full time coppersmiths. Instead of boiling, the still uses vaporization.
[edit] Serving
Hendricks suggest that their gin be served with tonic over ice garnished with cucumber instead of the traditional citrus.
