What makes it unusual in the gin world is its dual-still production: spirit is distilled separately in a rare Carter-Head still constructed in 1948 — one of only a handful still operational worldwide — and a Bennett copper pot still dating to 1860. The Carter-Head employs vapor infusion while the Bennett pot still macerates botanicals directly, and the two distillates are married together. The base spirit is infused with 11 botanicals including juniper, chamomile, elderflower, lemon peel, orange peel, caraway, coriander, cubeb berries, angelica root, yarrow root, and orris root. Bulgarian rose and cucumber essences are added after distillation — a step that technically disqualifies it from the London Dry designation but gives Hendrick's its unmistakable character.

The liquid begins with the signature Hendrick's two-part distillation process: botanicals are steeped for 24 hours and then distilled in a small Bennett pot still, while a separate distillation runs through an antique Carter-Head still for vapor-infused purification. The two distillates are married, and Orbium then diverges from the core Hendrick's recipe with the addition of three distinctive extracts — quinine (historically found in tonic water), wormwood (the defining ingredient in vermouth), and blue lotus blossom. The concept essentially folds the flavors of a Gin \u0026amp; Tonic and a Martini back into the gin itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with herbaceous sage and cool mint, giving way to bright lemon zest and delicate floral undertones.

The dual-still distillation method, unchanged since the distillery began blending output from a 19th-century pot still and a mid-century Carter-Head still, gives it a textural complexity that single-method gins struggle to replicate. Where many flavored gins lean on infusion alone, Grand Cabaret builds its fruit character on top of a fully realized eleven-botanical base, ensuring the gin never loses its structural identity.

This dual-distillation approach yields a broader flavor spectrum than either still could achieve alone.
