Hendricks Lunar Gin 70cl

It’s the gin you pour when you want your usual G&T to feel like a plot twist. Hendrick’s Lunar is the moodier, more aromatic side of the Hendrick’s family, all wrapped up in that signature cucumber-and-rose DNA, then nudged into a more night-blooming, floral direction.

If you’re building a home bar and you want one gin that keeps things interesting, this is an easy yes. It’s a Best Seller because it’s friendly enough for newcomers, but layered enough to keep gin nerds busy. Bright citrus up front, soft florals through the middle, and a crisp, dry finish that keeps you reaching for another sip.

Hendrick’s comes from Scotland, made in small-batch style with a real obsession for how flavour gets built. Lunar takes that house style and turns the lights down a bit, less “garden party,” more “late-night patio with good music.” It’s still unmistakably Hendrick’s, just with extra depth and a slightly dreamier profile.

What you’ll notice first is how lifted the aroma is, it smells like you’ve just cut citrus over fresh herbs. Then the palate brings in gentle flowers (think soft petals, not perfume) and that clean cucumber freshness that keeps everything feeling crisp and composed.

• Nose: Bright citrus peel, fresh cucumber, soft floral notes, a hint of gentle spice
• Taste: Juniper leads, then lemony citrus, light blossom, subtle herbal freshness, dry and clean on the tongue
• Finish: Cooling and lingering, with citrus zest, floral lift, and a tidy, dry close

This is a great pick for classic gin cocktails when you want more aroma and complexity without changing your whole routine. It plays especially well in a Gin and Tonic, a Martini, and anything where botanicals get to shine, because Lunar brings flavour that shows up without shouting.

If you’re the kind of person who likes a bottle with a bit of story, this one delivers. It’s not just another gin, it’s a different expression meant to feel like evening, fragrant, relaxed, and slightly unexpected.

Fun Fact: Hendrick’s is made using two different stills, a Bennett still and a Carter-Head still, then blended to balance rich texture with bright, delicate aromatics.
