Hendrick’s Oasium has been debuted by the brand as part of its Cabinet of Curiosities series as its sixth limited-edition spirit that prioritizes an expedition-themed profile. The spirit is reported to have citrus notes with lush botanical tastes that were chosen to help complement the crisp profile of the gin base. The spirit is inspired by Master Distiller Lesley Gracie's visit to a desert oasis to bring a touch of the arid landscape to any cocktail recipe or experience.
Gracie commented on the Hendrick’s Oasium gin saying, "As someone who’s always in search of new flavours, it was fascinating to see what plants grow and thrive in an oasis. There’s a very distinct, fresh green character and bright citrus note to Hendrick’s Oasium, rounded off by aromatic herbs that play delightfully well together.”
