Hendrick's Orbium Gin

Hendrick's Orbium Gin is a brilliantly complex, ultra-premium "Quininated Gin" crafted by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie. Described as what Hendrick's might taste like in a parallel universe, this expression takes the signature house foundation of 11 botanicals, cucumber, and rose, and infuses it with flavors traditionally found in classic gin mixers. By adding extracts of quinine (found in tonic), wormwood (found in vermouth), and the enigmatic Blue Lotus blossom, Orbium delivers a deeply intricate, structurally round, and beautifully bitter flavor profile.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with rich, savory, and briny dishes such as raw oysters, smoked salmon blinis, or caviar. It also contrasts beautifully with rich charcuterie, duck pâté, and sharp, aged cheeses like vintage white cheddar or Manchego.

TASTING NOTES Crystal clear and brilliantly transparent. It features a structurally round, velvety, and slightly oily mouthfeel that coats the palate with a unique, sophisticated bitterness.

NOSE An intensely floral and deeply complex bouquet. It opens with the surprising sweetness of blue lotus flower and rose, which quickly gives way to sharp, woody juniper, bright citrus zest, and a distinct, deep herbal undertone of dry wormwood.

PALATE Remarkably deep, complex, and evolving. The entry is unexpectedly sweet and floral, showcasing lotus blossom and citrus. Mid-palate, it transitions into a sharp, woody, and earthy domain where traditional juniper blends seamlessly with the clean, medicinal snap of quinine and a pleasant, herbaceous tea-like dryness.

FINISH Exceptionally long, dry, and clean. The floral sweetness completely fades, leaving behind a lingering, sophisticated bitterness of wormwood, crisp cucumber, and a sharp, refreshing peppery bite.

SERVE Designed to shine in spirit-forward cocktails. It makes an unparalleled, deeply complex Martini when stirred with a twist of lemon, or an elevated Orbium & Soda, where the built-in quinine eliminates the need for sugary tonic water.
