LESLEY GRACIE<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Lesley Gracie, who heralds from Yorkshire, is the Master Distiller at Hendrick&#8217;s Gin. With a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>background in chemistry, Lesley&#8217;s genius lies in her fascination with flavours and how they work<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>together. She visualises flavours as shapes and strikes to create a round, balanced flavour in all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>of her elixirs. In 1999, Ms. Gracie was approached by the great grandson of William Grant,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charles Gordon, to create an &#8216;ultra-premium&#8217; gin which was to become Hendrick&#8217;s. She was<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>appointed as the Master Distiller and went on to spearhead the development of this most<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>unusual gin and is responsible for the creation of all of Hendrick&#8217;s liquid innovations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the past two decades, Gracie has been responsible for countless pioneering Hendrick&#8217;s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>releases and has amassed an array of botanicals, distillates, and experimental liquids, which<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>are housed in a locked cabinet \u2013 the Cabinet of Curiosities \u2013 in her laboratory at the Hendrick&#8217;s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gin Palace. Ms Lesley Gracie has a strong history of pushing boundaries from her experiments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and venturing far and wide in search of new flavours &#8211; even as far as the Venezuelan rainforest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lesley is enchanted by animals and keeps two tortoises and loves to walk her dog, Jock. She<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>also has a penchant for salmon fishing and exploring the rugged Scottish countryside in her<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>motorhome, affectionately named Ted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AWARDS\/ACHIEVEMENTS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2022 &#8211; Walpole 2022 Power List &#8211; Fifty of the Most Influential People in the British luxury sector<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 &#8211; Lifetime Achievement Award at The Spirits Business Awards 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 &#8211; Grand Rectifier of the Gin Guild<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2021 &#8211; Inducted into the Gin Magazine Hall of Fame<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2018 &#8211; &#8216;Gin Distiller of the Year&amp;#39; by the World Gin Awards<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT HENDRICK&#8217;S GIN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HENDRICK&#8217;S GIN is a delicious, super premium gin that&#8217;s made with a number of unusual<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>twists to deliver a most curious drinking arrangement. Unlike ordinary gins, Hendrick&#8217;s Gin is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>distilled in Scotland in batches of only 500 litres at a time. Only HENDRICK&#8217;S GIN is made with<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>infusions of cucumber and rose petals, alongside a blend of 11 botanicals, to produce a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>wonderfully refreshing gin with a delightful floral aroma. HENDRICK&#8217;S GIN is crafted using two<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>utterly dissimilar stills, a rare Carterhead and an antique Bennett copper pot still, to create a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>divinely smooth gin that is simultaneously light and complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ABOUT WILLIAM GRANT &amp;amp; SONS<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>William Grant &amp;amp; Sons Holdings Ltd. is an independent, family-owned distiller headquartered in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the United Kingdom and founded by William Grant in 1887.
