Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella very sweet and thick

very sweet and thick

the 1982 remains fresh

and also less expressive than it was from barrel

simple and pleasant

although certainly less profoundly concentrated and extracted

Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella very sweet and thickThis gin has a fierce following, in part because of its quirky brand personality (see the Monty Python esque website) and aggressive marketing among bartenders. But it lives up to the hype. Some might expect a more concentrated rosewater cucumber profile, but its relatively subtle, with just a hint of cucumber mingling with juniper in the aroma, and white pepper, citrus and floral notes on the lingering finish.
