Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin is the fifth limited edition expression released as part of Master Distiller Lesley Gracie’s “Cabinet of Curiosities” series of Hendrick’s experimental Scottish Gins. Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret Gin takes its inspiration from a 17th century French experimental spirit derived from the distillation of stone fruit that was said to liven up any soirées.

How to enjoy this gin
The famous signature serve of gin, tonic and cucumber. This unusual garnish sent a few shockwaves across the gin world at the time but it’s proved to be an unusual, memorable and refreshing serve.
About Hendrick's Gin
Hendrick's Gin was born in the mid-1990s when William Grant & Sons Master Blender David Stewart sought to capture the aromas of cucumber and rose in a gin. Charles Gordon, a descendant of the company's founder, had purchased two rare stills in 1966, which were installed and used in the original Hendrick's Gin distillery. Working with Lesley Gracie, they perfected the recipe after 21 attempts before Hendrick's Gin was released in 1999. Today, the Hendrick's Gin Palace, opened in 2018, continues traditional distillation methods, with Lesley overseeing production and innovation in this unique Scottish Gin distillery.
Production
Opened in October 2018, the Hendrick’s Gin Palace is a hub of creativity, craftsmanship, and innovation. Located within the William Grant & Sons Girvan Grain Distillery, it houses two still houses with six stills—four Bennet stills and two Carter-Head stills. The facility also includes a laboratory for experimentation and two Victorian-style greenhouses where botanicals are cultivated for potential future gin expressions. While the Hendrick’s Gin Palace remains a place of work and discovery, it is not open to the public, with distillery tours available by invitation only.
