In 1886 William Grant founded a distillery in Scotland, and became the first person to market Scotch Whiskey outside the United Kingdom. In 1960, the chairman of the company purchased one of four Carter-head stills in existence, and restored it to produce Hendrick’s gin. Infused with oil from Bulgarian rose petals, and cucumber - the gin is superb. The recipe suggested by the Grant family, still in control of the company - is take 2 oz. Hendrick’s Gin, Tonic Water and pour the Hendrick’s into a highball glass over ice cubes and fill with tonic water. Stir. Garnish with Cucumber. $28. BUY
