Hendrick’s Lunar Gin is a special release from Hendrick’s “Cabinet of Curiosities,” crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie in Scotland. Inspired by evenings spent tending botanicals under moonlight, it follows the signature Hendrick’s style by using both the Carter-Head and Bennett stills. Lunar was introduced in 2020 as a non-age-statement gin, bottled at
43.4% ABV, to highlight floral night-blooming notes alongside warm spice and a crisp citrus finish.
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Crystal clear, colourless liquor.
-
Aroma: Bright floral tones (violet, lavender, honeysuckle) blend with juniper, gentle citrus zest, and subtle night-blooming blossoms.
-
Palate: Floral sweetness up front, with juniper and warm spice (cardamom, black pepper) carrying through; citrus (orange, lemon) glimmers in the background, balancing the warmth.
-
Finish: Long and warming; lingering floral echoes, spice, and a faint citrus lift from the peel.
-
ABV: 43.4%
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat or over a large ice cube to let the spice and floral layers open. Excellent with high-quality tonic in a Lunar & Tonic: use premium tonic, garnish with thin rounds of cucumber and a twist of black pepper. Also works in cocktails that benefit from aromatic complexity—like a gin sour, or a twist on a Collins with citrus and soda. Best consumed in the evening or under softer lighting, fitting its moon-inspired mood.
