Hendrick’s Gin launches a new limited edition: NEPTUNIA

As invigorating as a sea breeze and as elusive as the depths of the ocean: following the success of last year’s Lunar Gin, Hendrick’s Gin is now launching NEPTUNIA.

Hendrick’s Gin is distilled in the rather ‘un-gin-like’ coastal town of Girvan, situated on the southwest coast of Scotland. Along the rugged Ayrshire coastline, also in southwest Scotland, the idea for Hendrick’s NEPTUNIA drifted into the thoughts of Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. There, just a few cucumber lengths from Hendrick’s Gin Palace, the coast’s rippling melodies enchanted her. Walking in the wind, she vowed to distill the beauty of that sea and serve it on dry land as gin.

Blend of botanicals

Like the earlier limited editions, Hendrick’s NEPTUNIA is based on the original Hendrick’s Gin, with its distinctive essences of cucumber and rose. This time, the familiar flavor is swept up in a blend of botanicals Gracie discovered along the Scottish coast, with a soft citrus breeze as the finish. Exactly what Gracie picked during her many walks remains a secret – as mysterious as the darkest depths of the sea.

What does it taste like?

Juniper combined with deep earthy notes of local botanicals from Scotland, fresh herbs from the Scottish coast, and a clean yet soft citrus finish. Sounds delicious, non?

Perfect serve: NEPTUNIA Fizz

Naturally, Hendrick’s NEPTUNIA thrives with some tonic and a slice of cucumber. But if you want to chart a different course, try this sea-legged gin in the refreshing NEPTUNIA Fizz. Here’s what you need:

50ml Hendrick’s NEPTUNIA
25ml fresh lime juice
25ml sugar syrup
A splash of sparkling water

Combine all the ingredients in a glass. Garnish with a slice of cucumber. And ahoy, shipmates!

Come aboard soon

Hendrick’s NEPTUNIA is the fourth limited edition from Gracie’s cabinet and is now available (including at Gall&Gall for 39.99 euros). Be quick. This limited edition will disappear faster than the tide. Never to return…
