Hendrick's Unveils Extraordinary Gin Palace in Scotland

Hendrick's Gin announces its most significant development since launch in 1999. It has unveiled a new resplendent distilling home truly befitting a gin famed for its sense of invention and wonder: The Hendrick's Gin Palace.

The Hendrick's Gin Palace and distillery has been artfully and magnificently expanded to meet the voracious global demand for Hendrick's, which is unusually infused with essences of cucumber and rose. As an engine of innovation, it is an institution dedicated to exploration and discovery where Hendrick's Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, will have the creative freedom to experiment and conceive new Hendrick's variants, as well as being the distilling home for the brand that turned the gin world on its head.  

Hendrick's tastes like no other gin because no other gin is made or behaves like it. This spirit of invention carries through to the expansion. The distillery has doubled its capacity to meet demand and the extraordinary facilities that are now available to Lesley will allow her to truly unleash her innate creative proclivities.

The Hendrick's Gin Palace features a mysterious and enchanting walled garden which leads to a magnificent and imposing Victorian inspired palm house. This is flanked by two botanical hot houses used to cultivate a plethora of unusual botanicals and flora from around the world. There is the inner sanctum that is Lesley's laboratory which features a curious flavour library, a lecture theatre that encourages scholarly learnings and a suitably stylish bar.

And of course there are two stunning new still houses. The Hendrick's family of stills has flourished and now stands at a proud six - four Bennett stills including the original antique copper pot still hailing from 1860 and three precise replicas. And two Carter Heads including one original constructed in 1948 and one exact reproduction.  The new stills have been active for almost a year producing the same delicious liquid that tastes exactly like Hendrick's did on the day it was launched.
