Hendrick's - Oasium - 43.4%
Hendrick's Oasium, 43.4% ABV, is a unique creation from Scottish gin house Hendrick's, renowned for its imaginative and refined approach to gin. Crafted in the Girvan distillery's Cabinet of Curiosities, this limited edition is inspired by the idea of a lush secret garden, a botanical oasis in the heart of the desert. True to the brand's ethos, it combines creativity, precision, and a unique sense of botanical balance.
Distilled in small batches in the iconic Bennett and Carter-Head stills, Hendrick's Oasium combines classic gin botanicals—juniper, coriander, and citrus peel—with the house signature of cucumber and rose, while incorporating new herbal and floral essences. This masterful work results in a vibrant gin that is both vegetal and luminous, where freshness dominates without ever masking the distillate's depth.
The nose opens with vibrant notes of mint, basil, and lime, intertwined with white flowers and a delicate rose scent. On the palate, the attack is lively, marked by juniper and citrus, before rounding out into a soft, slightly peppery texture. The aromatic heart evokes fresh herbs and morning dew, while the long, airy finish leaves an impression of purity and lingering freshness.
A refined and expressive gin, perfect for an elegant Gin & Tonic garnished with fresh cucumber or pink grapefruit, but also superb in a herbal martini. Serve chilled, between 6 and 8°C, to reveal all its botanical delicacy.
