Chat with Vinny
Here’s a gin that every Hendrick’s fan will want to try. But not everybody will get the opportunity, as its presence will be as fleeting as a British summer. Fun, fresh and floral, it’s uniquely characterful, yet definitively Hendrick’s. Bottoms up.
Tasting notes
Crisp and refreshing, with a spicy finish
Aroma
Striking floral aromas with notes of juniper and chamomile
Midsummer Solstice is the latest offering from the ‘Cabinet of Curiosities’ of Lesley Gracie, Hendrick’s Master Distiller. It’s a small batch, one off production that’s meant to capture the essence of the time of year when, according to Hendrick’s, nature’s most vivid blooms flourish. Lesley’s staying tight lipped about the exact combination of botanicals she used to create this charming spirit, but it is based on the Scottish firm’s award winning house style. It’s safe to say she’s used a selection of midsummer blooms alongside the standard gin botanicals, and the Hendrick’s staples of rose petals and cucumber. Slighter lighter in style than the standard Hendrick’s offering, Midsummer Solstice is wonderfully refreshing all year round.
