You know that Hendrick's you love? This is the version that went to art school and came back with opinions. Orbium takes the rose-and-cucumber softness you already trust and threads a bittersweet quinine tang and a moody wormwood depth right through it. It's a gin that practically begs to be stirred into a Martini, slowed down and sipped. Pour one for the night you actually want to taste your drink.
Nose first: that signature Hendrick's bouquet, cool cucumber and soft rose, with a green herbal lift sitting just behind it. Then the palate does something clever. The familiar floral sweetness lands early, citrus and a whisper of chamomile, before the quinine steps in with a tonic-water tang and the wormwood follows with a dry, grown-up bitterness. The blue lotus blossom keeps it all bright and balanced instead of harsh. It's complex without being hard work. Bittersweet, floral, and properly more-ish.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Hendrick's is made in Scotland by William Grant & Sons, and Orbium is the brainchild of master distiller Lesley Gracie, the same mind behind the original. She took the classic Hendrick's spirit and added three post-distillation extracts: quinine, wormwood and blue lotus blossom. The trick is a nod to the two things gin almost always meets in a glass, tonic and vermouth, folded right into the bottle. It's released in genuinely small batches, so it carries a limited-edition feel.
