Credited by many experts as the brand that sparked the UK gin resurgence, Hendrick’s has launched its new Lunar Gin, now available at Harvey Nichols Birmingham. The highly-anticipated release has been created by master distiller Lesley Gracie and follows in the footsteps of last year’s runaway success Midsummer Solstice.
Described as “distinctly floral with a delicate spicy finish”, Lunar boasts an intriguing blend of classic floral notes, aromatic and spicy scents, and a hint of citrus to produce a wonderfully refreshing drink. Perfect for sipping into the small hours, mix with ginger ale, cucumber and a twist of lemon or simply add premium tonic, a slice of cucumber and a few grinds of black pepper.
Hendrick’s is handcrafted in small batches in the Scottish coastal town of Girvan using a carefully curated selection of botanicals and two types of still: a Bennett Still that steeps the botanicals to create an intense and robust spirit; and a rare Carter-Head Still that steams the botanicals to create a lighter more fragrant spirit. These two spirits are then married together and infused with Hendrick’s finishing touches.
