Hendrick’s Gin has expanded its permanent portfolio in Canada with the launch of ‘Another Hendrick’s Gin’ marking the brand’s first permanent addition to its core lineup in nine years. Building on Hendrick’s established botanical profile, the new expression combines its signature rose and cucumber notes with bright orange blossom and smooth cacao bean nuances. As a result, the gin offers a layered flavor profile that balances floral freshness with richer, more decadent characteristics.
Developed by Hendrick’s Master Distiller Lesley Gracie, Another Hendrick’s was inspired by her interest in chocolate and flowers. In particular, its formulation explores the relatively uncommon use of cacao in gin while maintaining the brand’s recognizable botanical character. Furthermore, the expression is presented in a distinctive white bottle, visually differentiating it from the original.
As part of its global debut, Canada is among the first markets to receive the new expression, expanding Hendrick’s presence within the premium gin category.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Decadent Botanical Spirits
- Premium gin expressions are moving beyond crisp herbal profiles into richer floral, citrus, and cacao-inflected blends that create room for more dessert-adjacent drinking occasions.
- Cacao-infused Gin
- The use of cacao in clear botanical spirits introduces an uncommon flavor bridge between confectionery cues and classic cocktail formats, expanding how consumers perceive gin complexity.
- Permanent Limited-feel Launches
- Core portfolio additions with distinctive packaging and experimental flavor cues borrow the excitement of limited editions while supporting longer-term shelf presence.
Sectors Adopting This
- Alcoholic Beverages
- Premium spirits brands are differentiating through layered ingredient stories and unconventional botanicals that strengthen appeal in crowded gin categories.
- Luxury Packaging
- Distinctive bottle colors and visual signatures are becoming central to communicating new flavor identities and premium positioning at retail.
- Flavor Innovation
- Cross-category inspiration from chocolate, florals, and citrus is reshaping product development opportunities across beverages, confections, and experiential consumption.
