The Hendrick's FLORA ADORA is a limited-edition spirit being launched by the distillery to provide cocktail enthusiasts with a way to elevate their springtime recipes. The gin is inspired by garden flowers that are popular with pollinators and thus coincides with the impending season change to give spirit enthusiasts the perfect way to celebrate. The spirit is crafted at the Hendrick's Gin Palace located on the Ayrshire coast of Southwest Scotland, and is inspired by Master Distiller Ms. Lesley Gracie's love for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
Ms Gracie commented on the Hendrick's FLORA ADORA gin saying, "I find it truly relaxing to watch the butterflies and bees busy at work in the garden. It’s fascinating to me how they seem to settle on some plants more than others. Certain flowers are more enticing to the pollinators, and it is these blooms that I’ve carefully selected to create a botanical blend for Hendrick’s FLORA ADORA.”
