Hendrick’s Orbium Gin Bottle

Hendrick’s Orbium Gin is a limited-edition reimagining of the classic Hendrick’s Gin by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. It retains the signature cucumber and rose infusions, but introduces three new elements: quinine, traditionally found in tonic water; wormwood, a key ingredient in vermouth; and the exotic blue lotus blossom. The name “Orbium” is derived from the Latin word for “orb,” representing the rounded character Ms. Gracie envisioned for this unique spirit. Bottled at 43.4% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromatic with the familiar floral notes of rose and the coolness of cucumber, now layered with a distinct herbal bitterness from the wormwood and a subtle floral sweetness from the blue lotus, underpinned by a hint of quinine.

• Palate: The signature smoothness of Hendrick’s is present, with the cucumber and rose taking a slightly different profile due to the new additions. A noticeable bittersweetness emerges from the quinine and wormwood, balanced by a unique floral sweetness from the lotus blossom.

• Finish: Long and lingering, the finish evolves from a zesty and floral character into a more profound and alluringly bitter conclusion, with the quinine and wormwood notes persisting alongside the refreshing cucumber.

Awards and Recognition:

• Bronze Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition (2020).
• Gold Medal at the John Barleycorn Awards (2019).

Overall Impression: Hendrick’s Orbium Gin is a distinctive and intriguing variation on the beloved Hendrick’s profile. By introducing elements commonly found in gin’s classic pairings (tonic and vermouth), it offers a complex and sophisticated taste experience. The interplay of the signature cucumber and rose with the bittersweet and floral notes of quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus blossom creates a uniquely balanced and memorable gin. While it remains recognizably Hendrick’s, Orbium ventures into new and exciting flavor territory, making it a compelling choice for adventurous gin enthusiasts and those seeking a nuanced spirit for both classic and innovative cocktails.
