Hendrick's Gin
   
The Distillery

You may well have noted that the Hendrick's bottle is shaped like an old apothecary bottle. Why, you ask?

Once upon a time, the apothecary, with his bottles of extractions, essences and botanical tonics, was relied upon to cure diseases and redeem healthfulness.
 
 

The bottles he carried were intended to protect the delicate healing powers of the liquid held within. It made sense, therefore, that a spirit as intricately flavourful and delightfully odd as Hendrick’s be kept in the same such bottle.
