Portrait: What makes the Another Hendrick's Gin special

Another Hendrick’s Gin proves that even a traditional gin brand occasionally fancies something new. And not just a little new, but so new that the name was chosen to perfectly reflect this: “Another.” A free translation would be: “We have another idea.”

Behind this creative idea is the Scottish brand Hendrick’s Gin, which has been known for years for producing gin with a charming penchant for the eccentric. Anyone who's ever seen a Hendrick's bottle knows: it's more reminiscent of a Victorian apothecary bottle than a classic spirits bottle design. You almost get the feeling that a slightly eccentric 19th-century professor might come around the corner and say, "Fancy a little experiment?" Hendrick's is produced by the long-established bottler William Grant & Sons, a Scottish family business based at Girvan Distillery in Scotland.
The company has been around since the 19th century and has made a name for itself worldwide in the spirits industry. So you could say they've been experimenting for a long time. With Another Hendrick's Gin, the brand is showing a new side of its creativity. What's particularly exciting is that this is the first Hendrick's Gin in history to be permanently infused with orange blossom and cocoa. While previous special editions seemed more like exciting guest appearances in the product range, this gin is here to stay.
Of course, design also plays a major role.
The bottle looks like a cross between a Victorian laboratory, a steampunk novel, and a modern art installation. In short: it stands out on the shelf, even when surrounded by twenty other gins that also claim to be "very special."
Ultimately, Another Hendrick's Gin represents exactly what the brand has stood for for years: a touch of British humor, a dash of Scottish experimentation, and the charming realization that even in a traditional distillery, it's perfectly acceptable to say every now and then: "Let's just try something different."

Tasting Notes: This is how the Another Hendrick's Gin tastes like

• Nose: On the nose, a surprising combination of fruity and slightly spicy botanicals is revealed. Classic juniper is accompanied by bright citrus aromas, while a subtle sweetness harmoniously rounds off the bouquet.
• Palate: On the palate, the typical character of Hendrick's Gin remains recognizable. Velvety and rich cocoa notes come to the fore and are complemented by citrusy accents from orange blossom, which lend the gin additional elegance.
• Finish: The finish is soft and rounded. Citrus nuances and fine cocoa tones linger gently, providing a balanced and pleasant finish.
