About Hendricks Orbium
Hendrick's Orbium is a distinctive gin from William Grant & Sons, bottled at 43% ABV (86 proof) in 750ml sizes for $34.50. This limited-edition release reimagines the classic Hendrick's profile by infusing additional extracts of quinine, wormwood, and blue lotus blossom, creating a deeply complex spirit that blends floral elegance with unexpected bitterness reminiscent of tonic water and vermouth. What makes it special is its daring contrast: lush florals like rose and lotus meet sharp, woody quinine and herbal wormwood, offering a spiraling journey from sweet citrus to bitter climax that's far more intricate than standard Hendrick's. Ideal for adventurous gin enthusiasts seeking bold, experimental flavors rather than beginners, it shines in bitter-forward cocktails where its complexity elevates classics. Compared to traditional London Dry gins, Orbium stands out for its subdued juniper and amplified botanicals, positioning it as a premium, niche option in the flavored gin categoryโmore sophisticated and less versatile than Hendrick's original but superior for Negronis and Martinis.
Tasting Notes
๐ Nose
The nose bursts with quinine evoking gin and tonic, alongside lush lotus blossom, rose, and cucumber notes characteristic of Hendrick's family. Floral softness mingles with fruity undertones, earthy hints, and subtle peppery spice. Juniper lurks subtly amid the schizophrenic blend of sweet florals and herbal bitterness.
๐ Palate
Sweet citrus and chamomile open gently, transitioning to dominant wormwood bitterness that's green and macerated, not overly sharp. Quinine adds a woody tang with mint, pepper, sage, ginger, lemon zest, cucumber, and rose petals, creating a full-bodied, slightly damp mouthfeel unlike drying juniper-heavy gins. The balance shifts from dry sweetness and spice to an alluring floral glow amid the bitter thrust.
โจ Finish
Distinctively bitter with quinine's metallic tinge, spicy warmth, and lingering earthiness that spirals from zesty lemon to woody climax. Pleasant and memorable, it leaves a clean, herbal echo.
