Hendricks Amazonia Gin 1L

Hendricks Amazonia Gin 1L delivers an exotic botanical exploration inspired by master distiller Lesley Gracie’s travels through the Amazon rainforest. This limited edition expression builds on the signature Hendrick’s foundation of cucumber and rose petal infusions, layering in vibrant Amazonian flora that pushes the botanical complexity into bold new territory.

Crafted at the Hendrick’s Gin Palace in Scotland using the distillery’s traditional copper pot still method, Amazonia incorporates botanicals sourced from the Amazon basin alongside the classic eleven-ingredient Hendrick’s base. The result is a gin that balances the familiar with the adventurous, creating a flavour profile distinctly different from the core range.

Nose: Fresh cucumber and delicate rose petals open the aromatic experience, quickly followed by waves of tropical fruit – juicy pineapple, ripe mango, and hints of guava and dragonfruit create an immediately exotic impression with subtle floral undertones.

Palate: Bright citrus notes of orange and lime lead, followed by the signature cucumber freshness that defines the Hendrick’s style. The tropical fruit character intensifies mid-palate with pineapple and banana sweetness, supported by herbal depth from jungle botanicals that add an almost verdant, green complexity. Juniper remains present but takes a supporting role to the bold fruit-forward profile.

Finish: Medium length with a gentle peppery warmth and lingering tropical fruit sweetness, closing with subtle botanical spice that adds structure without overwhelming the exotic character.

This gin shines in a classic Gin and Tonic when paired with premium tonic water and garnished with fresh pineapple wedges or pink grapefruit slices instead of the traditional cucumber. It brings distinctive character to a Negroni, where the tropical notes play beautifully against Campari’s bitterness, and adds an unexpected twist to a French 75 with its fruit-forward complexity.

Amazonia sits at a premium price point that reflects its limited availability and unique botanical sourcing, making it ideal for gin enthusiasts seeking something beyond standard expressions and home bartenders looking to add unusual dimension to their cocktail repertoire. Originally developed for the travel retail market, this expression represents Hendrick’s willingness to push creative boundaries while maintaining the craftsmanship that defines the brand.

A standout choice for those who appreciate gin with bold personality and aren’t afraid of tropical fruit intensity in their botanicals, particularly suited to summer entertaining or as a conversation-starting gift for adventurous spirits lovers.
