Discover the Enchanting World of Hendrick's Oasium Gin
Step into a refreshingly curious oasis with Hendrick's Oasium Gin, the latest marvel from the renowned Hendrick's Gin distillery. This limited-edition release, part of the esteemed Cabinet of Curiosities series, invites you to embark on a sensory journey inspired by the lush paradises hidden within arid deserts. Master Distiller Lesley Gracie's adventurous spirit and innovative craftsmanship have culminated in a gin that harmoniously blends exotic botanicals, delivering an experience that is both familiar and intriguingly novel.
A Journey Inspired by Desert Oasis
The inception of Hendrick's Oasium Gin is as captivating as its flavor profile. During an extraordinary expedition to a remote desert oasis, Ms. Gracie found herself amidst vibrant flora and fauna, a stark contrast to the surrounding barren landscape. This enchanting environment, brimming with aromatic herbs and bright fruits, sparked the idea of encapsulating such an oasis's essence within a bottle. The result is Oasium (pronounced oh-ace-e-yum), a gin that mirrors the verdant greenery and refreshing zest characteristic of these secluded paradises.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavors
Hendrick's Oasium Gin offers a multi-layered tasting experience that delights the senses:
-
Nose: The aroma is a vibrant medley of tropical fruits, with prominent notes of ripe papaya, guava, and pineapple. Subtle hints of rose and elderflower nod to Hendrick's classic profile, while fresh grapefruit and a touch of banana add complexity.
-
Palate: On the palate, it presents a luscious and boldly flavored profile. Initial sweetness of peach and orange marmalade is followed by a fleeting juniper note. The mid-palate bursts with flavors of grapefruit, papaya, and guava, complemented by subtle spice notes reminiscent of white pepper. Hints of prickly pear and dried date add depth, while a touch of tarragon provides an herbal counterpoint.
-
Finish: The finish is moderately long and pronounced, with herbaceous notes of tarragon blending with lingering citrus, particularly lemon and pink grapefruit. A slight green, vegetal quality persists, balancing the fruit-forward profile, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste.
ABV: 43.4%
Hendrick's Oasium Gin is bottled at 43.4% Alcohol By Volume, striking the perfect balance between boldness and smooth drinkability. This strength amplifies the complexity of its botanicals while remaining invitingly approachable in cocktails or neat pours.
Craftsmanship: The Art of Distillation
Hendrick's Oasium Gin is crafted using the brand's signature two-still process, combining spirits from a Carter-Head still and a Bennett still. While the exact botanical blend remains a closely guarded secret, it is infused with aromatic herbs and bright fruits, capturing the essence of a desert oasis. This meticulous distillation process ensures a gin that is both complex and harmonious, reflecting the innovative spirit of Hendrick's.
