Hendrick's has, over the past quarter-century, become one of the most recognisable names in contemporary gin — a brand that almost single-handedly shifted public perception of what a gin could taste like. Another Hendrick's Gin arrives as a continuation of that legacy, bottled at 41.4% ABV and positioned squarely within the London Dry category, though Hendrick's has always been a house that interprets that classification with a distinctly modern sensibility.
Style & Character
What has always set Hendrick's apart is its willingness to foreground softer, more floral and vegetal notes — cucumber and rose being the signatures most drinkers will associate with the brand. While the full botanical bill for this expression has not been publicly confirmed, one would expect it to sit firmly within that established house style: elegant, restrained, and deliberately unlike the juniper-forward gins of old. At 41.4%, it sits just above the minimum threshold for a London Dry, suggesting a spirit designed for approachability rather than sheer intensity.
Verdict
I score Another Hendrick's Gin at 7.7 out of 10. It represents a solid, well-made gin from a house with genuine pedigree in the modern gin movement. The slightly lower ABV keeps it accessible, and the Hendrick's name carries a well-earned promise of quality and consistency. It may not push boundaries in the way some limited Hendrick's releases have, but as a reliable, characterful London Dry with broad appeal, it earns its place on the shelf.
Best served: In a classic G&T with Fever-Tree Indian Tonic and a wheel of cucumber — the pairing Hendrick's was born for.
