Angelica, juniper, lemon and orange peel, chamomile, coriander, cumin, guinea pepper, java pepper, iris root, meadowsweet, elderflower, cucumber and Bulgarian rose petals: these are the special ingredients of detail Gin Hendrick's .
Not only the ingredients, but also the bottle that houses this eccentric gin is quite original. It is inspired, in fact, by the style of bottles that contained medicines in pharmacies of the Victorian era, and the date on the label, 1886, refers to the year of foundation of the distillery William Grant.
But why the cucumber? Legend has it that master distiller Lesley Gracie was inspired by the custom of many Britons to eat cucumber sandwiches in gardens and parks.
In 2003 the Wall Street Journal would declare her the best gin in the world!
