Top shelf gin that is delicate, with complex flavors, and overtones of rose.
"Among my preferred gins. Hendricks has a smooth beginning and a complex flavor profile with a rose finish. This is one of my go-to gins for straight drinks or gin+tonics. For best results, combine with cucumber and a mild tonic (such as Fever-Tree). Citrus is not advised because it will mask some of the flavor."

Makes Fantastic Gin and Tonic.
""I have a long history of drinking Bombay Sapphire, so I bought a bottle of Hendricks based on recommendations to prepare martinis, but I discovered it worked best in a gin and tonic. Hendricks has a dry bark/bitters component that takes away from the flavor profile I'm going for in a martini, but it pairs perfectly with tonic water and lime. The bark flavor lends an unusual, noticable dryness to the g&t, making it a terrific drink for a hot summer afternoon. ""

Insufficient decent people
"There aren't enough compliments for this gin to go around. It is more expensive for a reason, and it is superior for a reason, but it is totally worth the extra money. The juniper berries and the ideal amount of cucumber flavor in this spirit are just wonderful. It may be dressed up or down and always turns out properly."

Excellent Customer Service
"I used curbside pickup, and ordinarily when a business didn't complete my order correctly, I wouldn't leave a 5-star review, but Sabrina's attention to detail in making sure they completed the order right was astounding. She has a passion for providing excellent customer service, and it was great. She took it personally because she sincerely wants to make everyone's experience at Total Wine great. Sometimes we forget that people make errors. Kudos!"

The cucumber is not my favorite, but the gin is quite tasty!
"Last year, I was at a small neighborhood bar in the heart of Pennsylvania when Ellen, the bartender, invited me to try it and see what I thought. She offered me one free of charge with a cucumber garnish, which I find to be a really unusual addition to a gin cocktail. The garnish didn't really excite me as I sipped, but the gin was excellent. The smoothest and nicest gin I've ever drank. Hendrick's hits you with the perfect juniper berry overtones in both taste and aroma. It's the only gin I'll have these days, whether in a collins, martini, or with tonic and lime. Very nice and refreshing."

I will always have access to one Gin.
"It's true what the reviewer says: "Best. Gin. Anywhere. " I'll provide a few notes. A cork is in the top of this premium gin. Because the glass is so dark, all light is blocked. It's my go-to gin for a G&T. It's "Refreshing," to put it simply, like wearing short sleeves on a rainy day in a juniper-filled woodland, which is where I want to brew a G&T this weekend. Pack some ice, set up camp, have a G&T while listening to Stan Getz on the ascent."

The best there is, essentially.
"One of my personal favorites in the spirit world as well as in gin. Crisp, cold, and downright silky. It exhibits every characteristic of a finely produced gin. citrus, coriander, juniper, and of course, cucumber. The cucumber is actually more subdued than some would have you believe, despite all the attention being paid to it. The junipers are becoming crisper due to chilling. This gin enters the winners circle with a lovely floral finish and a superb mouth feel. Without any additional garnish, I like this shaken and served over ice. It is simply so evenly balanced. In addition, it makes a fantastic martini and a standout gin and soda with a lemon twist."

Finest gin I've ever tried.
"Ever tried a gin this smooth. It's wonderful, blends well with juice and mixers, and is smooth enough to try as shots. The brand is fantastic, and I appreciate the container because it keeps the products from getting too much sun."

A good mixer is the Midsummer Solstice.
"Although I could drink this thing straight, I always put it into a cocktail because it is so wonderful for that. The cocktail? I'm a little dissatisfied that it's a limited release, but I'm glad that it was made at all. Hibiscus tea, passionfruit juice, and tropical punch are all combined in the mixer. I fill the remaining space in a tall glass with mixer after adding one shot of Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice gin, some ice, and 1-2 oz of either Perrier or San Pellegrino. I regret not having a picture of a full glass, though not necessary in that order. And if you folks at Hendrick's see this, as long as you keep creating this stuff, I'll keep purchasing it. I started drinking it before I paused to take a picture. I appreciate your excellent craftsmanship, and please don't bother me about using an ad blocker any longer."

Purchasing a Gimmick.
"Honestly Hendrick's isn't that great. The taste of cucumber is really cool in that it masks the fact that inside the cool bottle is just mediocre gin."
