Gin Orbium Quininated - Hendrick's

 “Orbium” is the flagship of the Hendrick's Gin line and, in some ways, completes it. Created, “Orbium” is captivating from the first sip, thanks to its captivating and original style. The base is always that of Hendrick's Gin, but refined and revisited by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. Quinine, wormwood, and lotus flowers are added to the original recipe, enriching the aromas and flavors of this Scottish gin, making it extraordinarily rounded, long-lasting, and complex. Produced in extremely limited quantities due to these refined and carefully selected ingredients, “Orbium” is a must-try for lovers of modern and original spirits.

 Tasting Notes: Fascinating and complex, it offers an intriguing and innovative flavor profile. Floral and botanical notes develop on the nose, followed by a smooth and elegant palate with a bitterish finish.

 Cocktails: Excellent neat, for cocktails and more sophisticated mixes, but it will surprise you with a “simple” Martini.

 The Distillery: From the vast experience of Scottish distillers comes Hendrick's Gin. While certainly not the usual gin production site, Hendrick's distillery has embraced the challenge, focusing primarily on tradition and quality. Distillation takes place using very old stills, both Carter-head and Bennet, to maximize the aromas of its botanicals. The essence recipe includes the addition of Bulgarian rose petals and locally grown cucumbers. Hendrick's is produced in very small batches of 450 liters, allowing for maximum control over all the characteristics and achieving the highest possible quality. The attention to detail is evident even in the details, such as the closure, which is made of cork rather than a classic screw cap. You can search for a gin like this anywhere, but it's impossible to find one like it.
