TRAVEL RETAIL EXCLUSIVE. Introducing Hendrick’s Gin’s latest oddity: The Whimsical Watering Can, an invitation to refresh your curiosity. Inspired by the humble cucumber, the peculiar cornerstone of our unusually crafted gin, we present a most curious gift. The Whimsical Watering Can is a functional watering can made of steel that houses a 70cl bottle of Hendrick’s Gin. It can be used and reused over and over – just wash before and after use. While it’s designed to be a watering can to cultivate cucumbers, it also makes for a spectacular sharing vessel to responsibly serve friends curious cocktails. The possibilities are as endless as the imagination when it comes to other ways to give this gift a second life as a decorative storage aid - think flowers, utensils or paintbrushes!
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A huge intense nose, a burst of crispy zesty botanicals spearheaded by the harmonious duo of juniper and coriander. The heady introduction is accompanied by deep floral tones of rose and violet.
Taste: Smooth and exquisitely balanced botanicals. Clean and dry, the complexity of the nose comes through in the taste; citrus and juniper with a subtle lingering finish of cool refreshing cucumber and rose.
Finish: A long and refreshingly floral finish
Alcohol: 44%
