Appearance: Presented in a striking all-white apothecary-style bottle adorned with Hendrick's classic Victorian labeling — a bold visual departure from the brand's signature dark bottle. Bottled at 41.4% ABV. 

Aroma: Vibrant juniper and citrus lift the nose, underscored by the brand's hallmark rose and cucumber signature. Bright orange blossom adds a floral, sun-warmed dimension, with hints of toasted cacao emerging in the background.

Taste: The palate reveals silky cacao richness layered with floral brightness. The classic Hendrick's flavor is enhanced by velvety rich notes of cacao alongside bright citrus elements of orange blossom. 

Finish: Smooth and sweet, with the juniper character lingering alongside the orange blossom and cacao notes. 

Considerations for Mixing: The distillery suggests serving it in a simple G&T garnished with an orange slice, or using it as the base for a Martinez cocktail to emphasize the cacao nuance. It also works well with tonic or elderflower and soda, garnished with an orange twist. 

Style: Contemporary / New Western Gin. Hendrick's first new permanent expression in almost a decade, representing a bold yet characteristically idiosyncratic addition to its core range. 

Distillation Method: Produced at the Hendrick's Gin Palace in Girvan, Scotland by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, using the brand's traditional dual-still method combining a Carter-Head still and a Bennett pot still, with rose and cucumber essences added post-distillation.

Botanicals Used: Bulgarian rose, Moroccan coriander seed, orris root, cubeb berries, and angelica form the base, alongside the headline botanicals of orange blossom and toasted cacao nibs, as well as the signature rose and cucumber essence. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie experimented with more than a dozen botanicals to strike the right balance of citrus, floral, and chocolate notes

Overall Impression: Another Hendrick's builds upon the brand's unmistakable rose and cucumber signature while introducing an intriguing duality of bright orange blossom and velvety cacao bean — retaining the classic Hendrick's balance of complexity and lightness, yet offering a distinctly different aromatic and flavor profile. It broadens the category of citrus-forward gins and underscores Hendrick's continued commitment to experimentation.
