DISTILLATION AND REFINING The Hendrick's Gin is the result of the combination of two gins. One produced with a Carter-Head still, the other in a small still built in 1860 by the manufacturer Bennett, Sons & Shears. They are two very different distillation methods that produce extremely different gins. The 2 botanicals are macerated for about 24 hours before passing into the Bennett still. Said simply are boiled and put directly into the spirit so as to infuse most of its aromatic characteristics. All the botanicals used in the Carter-Head are added to a basket on top of the distiller. They are neither macerated nor boiled, but are steamed so as to extract only the lightest, sweetest and floral aromas. Both distillations require 12 hours. Once the two spirits are united, the cucumber and the essence of roses are added before adding water and bottling
A PIECE OF ADVICE … gin is back in fashion after the late 1980s. Dedicated entirely to the world of cocktails and mixology, it competes in creativity and technique
