Hendrick's Amazonia Gin

The beautiful palate of rose, cucumber, and pine is augmented by exotic rainforest herbal notes.

Hendrick’s Gin was launched by William Grant & Sons in 1999. It’s produced at their Girvan Distillery in South Ayrshire, Scotland — built in 1963. Somewhat famously, the distillery was built in a hurry due to a quarrel between William Grant & Sons and a supplier — Distillers Company Limited (DCL). From ground break to production took a short nine months. They produce several Single Malt and blended Whiskies there, in addition to Hendrick’s Gins.

Hendrick’s Gin is definitely one of our favorites. The line is super-high-quality and the flavor profile of the entire line leans towards a soft palate with brilliant aromatic florals. This combination makes Hendrick’s not just our Gin of choice for a Vesper Martini — it’s our secret weapon. So, we were really excited to get our hands on a few cases of Hendrick's Amazonia Gin. It’s not a part of the core lineup. Most of the time you have to find it in those duty-free travel retail outlets. It’s built on top of the signature Hendrick’s rose and cucumber infused Spirit with the addition of exotic South American botanicals.

Smartass Corner:
Master Distiller Lesley Gracie spent three weeks in the Amazon Rainforest learning about native plants. The special formulation of Hendrick’s Amazonia is inspired by that experience.
