Hendrick’s Grand Cabaret is a bold & playful twist on Hendrick’s classic profile — bright stone fruits, sweet herbs, signature cucumber-and-rose overtones, all balanced by a lively, fruity character. It’s sweet, fragrant, and soft enough for casual sipping, but quirky and vivid enough to stand out in cocktails. If you enjoy gins that lean fruit-forward and aren’t shy about botanical sweetness, this is a delightful release. For purists who prefer juniper dominance, this may feel more decorative than traditional — but that’s part of its charm.
Origins & Craftsmanship
-
Released in March 2024 as a limited edition from Hendrick’s Cabinet of Curiosities.
-
Created under the guidance of Master Distiller Lesley Gracie.
-
Inspired by a historical stone-fruit based libation served with gin and scented with rose, popular in Parisian / French gatherings ‒ drawing on 17th-century recipes, social, fruity party drinks.
-
ABV: 43.4%, giving enough strength to carry the botanical and fruit elements without being overly harsh.
Tasting Profile
| Element | Notes |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear crystal-gin (no colour) ‒ polished and bright. |
| Nose / Aroma | Pronounced stone fruit: apricot flesh, ripe peach, maybe mirabelle plum; accented by soft floral rose; hints of sweet herbs; cucumber signature of Hendrick’s underlying. |
| Palate / Taste | Early notes of stone fruits (peach, apricot), sweet orange / citrus zest; juniper plays more of a supporting role; fresh herbs, honeyed fruit; some delicate floral / rose water edges; cucumber adds freshness. |
| Finish | Fruit-led, gently lingering; dried stone fruit or plum, soft rosy herb tones, mild warmth; the herbal and floral echoes extend. |
Food & Cocktail Pairings
-
Cocktails / Mixed Drinks: Excellent with light mixers such as elderflower tonic, soda water, or a crisp tonic with cucumber slice. Try simple fruit-forward cocktails (gin & lemonade, gin sour) to let the stone fruit shine. Some folks suggest avoiding overly bitter mixers like Campari with this gin.
-
Fruity Desserts: Apricot tart, peach cobbler, fruit pavlova — desserts that work with peach/apricot/plum will mirror its profile beautifully.
-
Cheese: Soft goat cheese, ricotta with honey & stone fruit compote or a mild brie — balances sweetness and freshness.
-
Light Savory / Appetizer: Smoked salmon, cucumber canapés, fresh herbs (mint, basil) in light salads or fresh garden fare; the cucumber & herbal notes in the gin complement these well.
-
After Dinner / Floral Pairings: Short breads, rose-scented tea, fruit/jelly/jam cookies, or even a chocolate with fruit accents — the floral and fruit profile will refresh the palate.
