Hendrick’s latest limited release Neptunia comes from the distillery's Cabinet of Curiosities, drawing upon botanicals from the Scottish coastline and delivering a bright citrus finish.

Based on the classic Hendrick’s house style, master distiller Lesley Gracie has developed a gin that uses a mysterious blend of refreshing Scottish coastal botanicals to create a smooth, bright citrus finish.

Created at the Hendrick’s Gin Palace on the Ayrshire coast of southwest Scotland, Gracie captured the invigorating sensation of being by the sea and bottled it in a gin.

Ally Martin, Hendrick’s Gin global brand ambassador said it was in Hendrick’s DNA to be unusual.

“Lesley is constantly pushing boundaries to create intriguing innovations that make for deliciously different drinks. People are captivated by the very personal stories Lesley tells through her liquid inventions and she draws them in again and again not by simple straight-forward flavour-led offerings, but by creating sensory rich worlds with her gins that transport drinkers to another time and place,” said Martin.

Neptunia is available in bottle shops nationally.
