Item Description

The latest in Hendrick’s line of limited edition gins is Neptunia Gin— curated by the brand’s master distiller Lesley Gracie, Hendrick’s Neptunia is inspired by the tumultuous waves of the Ayrshire coast of Scotland. Said to begin with the base of Hendrick’s Gin, Neptunia builds on it with some “coastal botanicals.”

Though famously shy about disclosing them, sea kelp and creeping coastal thyme are among the sea-inspired additions.

Tasting notes
Aroma: Hints of kelp/saline add a seaside character to a brightly citrus nose. Herbal and floral facets, including a hint of chamomile, lend Neptunia Gin a round and complex nose, with a hint of green juniper to balance things out.

Flavor: Citrus is surprisingly prominent throughout the palate. Orange zest segues into slightly herbal and green juniper. Mid-palate, juniper is pronounced and front and center. Becomes greener, with more kelp, thyme, and some vegetal undertones.

Finish: Quite dry, suggesting the possibility of actual saline. Warming to the palate— moreso than flagship Hendrick’s— with hints of chamomile flowers, spice and herbs.
