Ever wondered how "A Most Unusual Gin" actually comes to life? This isn't your standard botanical briefing.
Join Hendrick’s Brand Ambassador Sarah Berardi for an immersive deconstruction tasting that pulls back the Rose and Cucumber curtain to reveal the magic within the bottle.
What Makes it Unusual?
Hendrick’s isn’t made in one still—it’s a marriage of two disparate spirits from two very different stills:
The Bennett: An antique copper pot still from 1860 that produces a rich, complex, and robust spirit.
The Carter-Head: A rare 1948 still that bathes botanicals in a vapor basket, yielding a delicate, floral, and ethereal liquid.
Only when these two distinct spirits meet, along with their final signature infusion of Bulgarian Rosa Damascena and specially selected cucumbers, does it become Hendrick’s. Step inside the cabinet of curiosities and leave with a newfound appreciation for the oddities that make Hendrick’s extraordinary.
Why You Should Attend:
Deepen your knowledge of gin distillation and what actually goes into the bottle
Get an inside look at gin innovation and the flavor profiles pushing the category forward
Walk away with signature serves you can put to work behind your bar right away
