Hendrick’s Orbium Gin contains the same distillates as Hendrick’s Gin, however, the same remarkable mind that broke conventions infusing gin with essences of cucumber and rose has now taken gin in an altogether new direction by infusing flavours that are traditionally associated with classic gin libations; quinine found in tonic (G&T) and wormwood found in Vermouth (Martini’s). But it is not yet quite Orbium.

The addition of Blue Lotus Blossom exquisitely balances the overall flavour; but, the trinity of essences create a complex gin with surprising brightness and a finish that is uncommonly long. The result is an unfamiliar taste that is oddly familiar in character, designed to open up previously unexplored dimensions of gin as it spirals from floral into an altogether deeper and alluringly bitter place.
