Hendrick’s Gin Unveils Extraordinary New Gin Palace in Scotland
Since its debut in 1999, Hendrick’s Gin has announced its most significant development. This marked the unveiling of a new grand home for the famous gin, embodying its invention and curiosity: Hendrick’s Gin Palace.
Hendrick’s taste is unlike any other gin because no other gins are made or crafted like it. The spirit of this invention extends to expansion.
The Hendrick’s Gin Palace boasts a mysterious and enchanting walled garden leading to a magnificent Victorian-era-inspired palm house. Encircled by two botanical hot houses used to cultivate extraordinary botanicals and florals from around the world, it houses Lesley’s laboratory with a curious flavor library, a conference hall encouraging scientific learning, and an elegant bar.
And, of course, there are two stunning new additions: two Carter Heads, one original from 1948 and a complete reproduction. These new stills, much like the day Hendrick’s was initiated, produce the same delicious liquid.
William Grant & Sons, an independent global spirits company, has invested £13 million (approximately $17 million) in the magnificent expansion, reflecting their confidence and excitement for Hendrick’s future. Innovation has always been ingrained in the brand’s DNA. It pioneered the global gin boom, led the super-premium gin category, and continues to create.
“I am excited to fully embrace and start working on our fantastic new distillation products and experimental liquids. Some of these will evolve into future iterations and potential new expressions of Hendrick’s,” says the statement. “It represents our confidence in the brand, embodying the power it has created and the leading role it plays.”
The investment signifies the trust in the brand’s future and its influential role, celebrating the power it has generated within the brand.
