Description
Midsummer Solstice is a small batch, limited edition from Hendrick's gin. Like a holiday romance or the lifespan of the mayfly, Midsummer Solstice is a poetic expression of temporalityâ¦once itâs gone, itâs gone forever. Letâs celebrate the summer!
Distilling
Hendrick's is created via an absurdly inefficient, yet quite glorious process. In essence, to make one gin, they first create two. The first is in the Bennett, an antique copper pot dating right back to 1860 and which steeps the botanicals in spirit overnight prior to distillation resulting in a rich, complex liquid. The second is in the Carter-Head, hailing from 1948, which gently steams the botanicals in a basket atop its lofty neck, so influence is imparted upon the spirit in something akin to a botanical steam bath. This yields a lighter, more delicate spirit. The gins from the two stills are then married together and graced with curious yet marvelous infusions of Rose and Cucumber.
