The Gin Game Gets Interesting With The Launch Of Hendrick's "A Most Peculiar Gin" from Scotland Sets Sights on America

The days of staid, conformist, and often interchangeable brands of gin are over. Hendrick's Gin, which brags that only one out of every thousand gin-drinkers prefers its eccentric flavor, has officially entered the American market.

Hendrick's Gin contains subtle hints of coriander, juniper, citrus peel, and rose petals, as well as a curious but marvelous infusion of cucumber. This unorthodox combination of flavors achieves a harmonious balance that delights iconoclasts and leaves them wholly dissatisfied with typical gins. Hendrick's Gin is handcrafted in small batches in Girvan, Scotland. Its makers recommend enjoying its peculiar pleasures chilled straight up, on the rocks, or as part of a mixed drink. But, they are quick to add, save the lime for ordinary gins and garnish your Hendrick's with cucumber.
