Origins & Botanical Craft
-
Distilled in Scotland, using Hendrick’s signature dual still process for refined balance and clarity.
-
Infuses fresh Sicilian lemon peel harvested at peak ripeness to extract vivid citrus oils.
-
Blends in artistic touches of rose petal and hibiscus flower, offering floral depth and a soft pink hue in lighter pours.
-
Accompanied by traditional gin botanicals—juniper berries, coriander seed, angelica, orris, and a touch of cucumber essence for freshness.
-
Bottled at 43.4% ABV to preserve aromatic intensity, structure, and sipping satisfaction.
Aroma & Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Bright citrus zest leads the way with lemon oil and floral sweetness; rose petals and hibiscus bring soft perfume to the bouquet.
-
Palate: A vibrant citrus surge balanced by petal-soft floral nuance. Juniper is present but understated, allowing lemon and hibiscus to shine. Subtle cucumber freshness supports the mid-palate.
-
Finish: Medium length and elegant, with lingering zest, florals, and clean dryness—balanced and refreshing without being overly sweet.
Serving & Mixology Ideas
-
Sunspell Gin & Tonic: Highball over ice with premium tonic; garnish with lemon wheel and edible rose petals for visual and aromatic flair.
-
