Hendricks Gin

Meet the delightfully curious Hendrick's Gin. Life is simply too glorious not to experience its peculiar flavour, infused with rose and cucumber in our remote Scottish distillery.

A Gin Made Oddley...A small-minded approach to production..."Small batch" typically means 1,000 litres or fewer. Hendrick's distils in miniscule batches of 450 litres, which gives our master distiller even greater control of her careful artistry.  

Love the Hendrick's blog page by the way ...found this great recipe to follow up the "Aviation"  I shared with Eleni  last night.  The Hendricks "Lollygag Lilly"  3/4 Parts Hendricks Gin, 3/4 Parts Creme De Violette, 3/4 Parts Cointreau 3/4 Parts Lemon Juice.   "To simplify things lets say you are making a batch of these ...equal parts equal parts of all the ingredients just like a good Negroni  ....Uncle Jerry"

Also in their blog  was this interestin article...."A Review of The Mortal Perils of Hell...After an unlikely chain of incidences culminating with a mind-numbing clout on the head, Miles Orvis was medically dead for 6 hours before being resuscitated. During this period, Mr. Orvis (no choir boy he) was consigned to hell. Today, he gives us this review:

"First off, the food is excellent, exceedingly rich and well prepared. But the serving sizes are miniscule; often just half a bite and they take it away. There is nowhere to sit and the whole place is noisy. The clothing is extremely tight. And unlike in prison, where they typically disallow belts, in hell they supply all manner of leathery belts upon entering. Traffic is horrendous, not a single street sign or police officer to be seen. It is, however, an excellent place to talk politics, because there are loads of politicians down there. The best part about hell is the people. Interesting individuals of all sorts and no one holds back. Overall, on a scale of 1-10, I would give hell a 3, maybe a 4. Not as nice as Barbados, but preferable to Phoenix. Would I recommend to a friend? It depends where you're coming from."
