Hendrick's Another Gin

Hendrick’s Another Gin is a whimsical, curious twist on the classic Hendrick’s spirit—an imaginative, botanically adventurous gin that emphasizes floral, herbal, and mildly savory layers while remaining unmistakably approachable. It sits comfortably between traditional juniper-led London Dry styles and more contemporary, aromatic craft gins, offering both depth and charm for sipping or elevated cocktails.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Hendrick’s Another Gin is produced by William Grant & Sons at Hendrick’s original distillery in Girvan, Scotland, a site known for its innovative spirit work and distinctive house style. Like the core Hendrick’s Gin, Another Gin is crafted from a blend of pot-still and reflux-style distilled botanicals, but with a refreshed botanical lineup that plays on sensory contrasts—soft floral elements, crisp citrus, and herbaceous notes supported by subtle spice.

The distillation process uses two different stills—one traditional copper pot still and one rare Carter-Head still—allowing Hendrick’s to capture both rich, heavy botanical oils and lighter, volatile aromatics. These are married together for a profile that’s layered and intriguing rather than singularly juniper-forward.

While Hendrick’s Another Gin shares the brand’s hallmark craft approach, its botanical recipe is designed to be more expressive in certain aromatic dimensions: rose, elderflower, citrus zest, and unconventional herbal accents—offering a fresh and contemporary take on gin’s botanical possibilities.

Critics Reviews
There are no widely published professional critic scores from major spirits authorities (such as Whisky Advocate, The Spirits Business, or San Francisco World Spirits Competition) specifically for Hendrick’s Another Gin at this time. However, the release has been covered favorably in bartender and spirits media circles, which highlight its engaging aromatics and versatile character—noted for its creativity relative to other craft gin releases.

Industry tastings and mixology reviews often describe it as “mature,” “balanced with flourish,” and “a worthy companion to the original Hendrick’s while taking its own directional path.”

Tasting Profile
Nose: Bright and floral with rose petal and elderflower at the forefront, complemented by lively lemon and orange zest and soft herbal mint notes that invite curiosity.

Palate: Elegant and smooth, the palate presents fresh citrus, gentle basil and coriander leaf, and a whisper of spice—balanced by underlying botanical earthiness that keeps the profile grounded rather than sweet.

Finish: Clean and aromatic, with lingering floral echoes, citrus peel, and a subtle herbaceous glow that qualifies it both as a contemplative sipper and an excellent cocktail base.
