Hendrick’s Gin

Mr William Grant with his seven sons and two daughhters built their family distillery in Scotland. In 1860 the Bennet Still used by the distillery was made by coppersmiths in London. Although few of these Bennet Stills are produced, they yield a spirit that is robust and flavorful. The John Dore and Company manufactured a Carter-Head Still for Hendrick’s in 1948 with a vapor-driven flavor basket atop a long neck, yeilding a subtle and delicate spirit. This type of still is quite rare today; only a few are known to exist.

Hendrick’s Gin has a rather unusual website which includes videos on the distilling process as well as the story of Horatio, the distilling pig. Enjoy. The Hendrick’s Gin website is:  https://us.hendricksgin.com
