DISTILLERY NOTES
For those of you who haven't fainted in sheer awe, let us explain.
There are four Carter-Head Stills in the world. Ours was built in 19th century London and has been restored to its original condition by our full-time coppersmiths.
Instead of crudely boiling its ingredients, the Carter-Head "bathes" them in vapours. By keeping our eye on the round windows, we enforce the slowest possible build-up.
This makes an enormous difference in flavour. The more leisurely the distillation, the smoother and more thorough the instillation. This is especially critical when dealing with the peculiar orchestra of botanicals that makes Hendrick's Gin so extraordinary.
Our delicious rogue's gallery of botanicals are instilled during distillation. Then our two infusions are added.
First is a lovely hint of Bulgarian Rose, which is extracted by gently pressing essential oils from the petals. Next comes the coup de grace - Cucumber, the essence of which is obtained by mashing the fresh fruit, then mixing the pulp with cold water.
This initiates a slow infusion process that extracts the essential subtle flavours, which are then painstakingly infused into the spirit, one small batch at a time.
You may well have noted that the Hendrick's bottle is shaped like an old apothecary bottle. Why, you ask?Once upon a time, the apothecary, with his bottles of extractions, essences and botanical tonics, was relied upon to cure diseases and redeem healthfulness.
The bottles he carried were intended to protect the delicate healing powers of the liquid held within. It made sense, therefore, that a spirit as intricately flavourful and delightfully odd as Hendrick's be kept in the same such bottle.
