[Hendrick’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whimsical-watering-can) Gin, the renowned [Scottish gin producer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hendricks-gins), recently partnered with creative agency Space to launch an unusual immersive campaign -- the 'Portals to the Peculiar' -- to promote its new line of Orbium gin. The multi-sensory event invites guests to "escape the conventional and embrace the delectable" by taking a dive into the brand's bizarre world.

The pop-up includes seemingly ordinary portals that bring guests "an unusual world oddly infused with rose and cucumber" that seeks to "[break] up the daily grind and take people beyond the obvious." The 45-minute experience begins in a laundromat but soon allows attendees to meet intriguing characters and unexpected situations.

This unique and on-brand [immersive pop-up event](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makers-mark-bourbon) is perfect for Millennials and Gen Zs who crave experiences and social media moments.
