Hendrick’s Gin officially unveils its latest limited release from the highly revered Cabinet of Curiosities. Inspired by and crafted with flowers most adored by our nectar-loving friends of the pollinator kingdom, Hendrick’s Flora Adora is set to bloom across Bangkok’s most lively bars, restaurants, and select retailers from. Horticultural escapades await as the launch begins with a Wildflower Garden pop-up in collaboration with CONTENTO from 1 September to 30 September 2023.
Hendrick’s Flora Adora buzzes with an enticing aroma of enchanting flowers, taking the brand’s signature style into a fresh and irresistibly floral dimension. The foundational juniper and coriander essence are extended by luxuriously verdant and delightfully sweet floral attributes, creating a symphony of flavors that embodies both refinement and charm.
Crafted within the esteemed Hendrick’s Gin Palace on the rugged Ayrshire coast of Southwest Scotland, Master Distiller, Ms Lesley Gracie takes inspiration from the fascinating pollination at play in her garden. A fragrant bouquet most adored by her nectar-loving friends was handpicked to create the exquisite concoction that is Flora Adora, Hendrick’s limited edition gin.
Ms. Gracie elaborates, “I find it really relaxing to watch the butterflies and bees busy at work in the garden. It’s fascinating to me how they seem to settle on some plants more than others. Certain flowers are more enticing to the pollinators and it’s these blooms that I’ve used to create a botanical blend for Hendrick’s Flora Adora.”
Charmaine Thio, Southeast Asia Brand Ambassador for Hendrick’s Gin, enthuses, “We’re thrilled to introduce Hendrick’s Flora Adora to Thailand and hope that with each splendid sip, you too will realise just why this careful selection of flowers is so irresistible to our pollinator friends. Sublime simply with tonic and a slice of cucumber, Flora Adora is also beguiling when mixed in a Flora Garden Cup – a medley of cooling cucumber and bright citrus, lengthened with a refreshing raspberry soda.”
