Originating from the Girvan distillery in Ayrshire, Scotland, Hendrick's Gin represents a distinctive departure from conventional gin production. Crafted in small batches, this spirit is renowned for its unique infusion of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and specially selected cucumbers, alongside a traditional blend of eleven botanicals.
The distillation process employs two distinct stills: a venerable 1860s Bennett copper pot still, which steeps botanicals for an intense, robust spirit, and a rare Carter-Head still, which gently steams botanicals in a basket for a lighter, more aromatic distillate. These two spirits are then married, creating a gin of unparalleled complexity and balance. The "Forever Love" Gift Set thoughtfully presents this iconic 70cl expression, making it an ideal offering for connoisseurs appreciating artisanal spirits and refined presentation.

The finish is long, clean, and remarkably refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of floral elegance.
