Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella although certainly less profoundly concentrated

although certainly less profoundly concentrated and extracted

the 1982 remains fresh

all wrapped in muscular finish that displays excellent persistence

Harmonious acidity gives the flavors a juicy quality

gained some detail and perhaps it will continue to meliorate

Hendricks Gin (750ml) Valpolicella although certainly less profoundly concentratedThis gin has a fierce following, in part because of its quirky brand personality (see the Monty Python esque website) and aggressive marketing among bartenders. But it lives up to the hype. Some might expect a more concentrated rosewater cucumber profile, but its relatively subtle, with just a hint of cucumber mingling with juniper in the aroma, and white pepper, citrus and floral notes on the lingering finish.
