Canoe riding, tigerpythons, fire, scorpions, botanical flowers, a bar made of bamboo and bananas everywhere your eyes can see. Sounds like you’re somewhere in the jungle, right? But nope. All that went down, a few days ago in the middle of Hamburg City when Hendrick’s Gin invited my Broffice Fabian Hartand I to one of a kind event.
That night, David Piper and Master Distiller Lesley Gracie herself introduced us to a rare edition of Hendrick’s. An edition that is made with the exotic botanical Stachytarpheta Cayennensis. Dicovered in the Venezuelan rainforest by David and Lesley themselves, on their expedition to create a remarkable flavor.
The local tribes call this specific botanical 'Scorpion Tail', but I simply stick with 'fukn delicious'. The taste is extraordinary and in no case comparable to anything else I tried before. What a bummer you will never have the chance to try this exquisite liquid. Distiller Lesley brought back only 8.4 liters and I'm kinda sure there is not that much left after the night in Hamburg. But there is no need to worry, in my upcoming post I will show how to go jungleish wild with the classic Hendrick's Gin. Until then...Cheers!
