A 375 ml bottle from a BC government liquor store on Robson St in Vancouver. Widely available in government stores.
Noted the strength is 44% ABV, a factor to consider when comparing prices between brands. Gordon’s is my value-for-dollar favorite, but is 40%. Also in the 375 ml size, it comes in a plastic bottle, not everyone’s favorite, but for immediate use, who gives a hang, eh?
Sorry, reader, I digress. Back to Hendrick’s. Wonderful, and not heavy on juniper, more to citrus and other subtle herbal notes. If you like lots of the berry of the juniper bush, stay away.
Worth the money for those of us who enjoy our gin neat, and savor the nose as much as over the gums! Dunno as I’d bother if my taste ran to gin & tonic. I do like a well made gin & tonic in warm weather only, but I’d be loathe to use a premium gin for that.
