Picked this up at the Duty Free in Orlando. Nose: Pineapple, mango, soursop, slight acetone. Palate: Tropical fruits, pandan leaf, a few flavours I haven't really experienced before. Finish: Fairly lengthy and the classic Hendricks flavours come through. Juniper, cucumber and some floral notes. This is so unique and strange it's hard to even call it a gin. It's going to make some wacky cocktails. Going to be a while before I get through an entire litre of this though.

Very strong and burned at first, then after sitting for a bit it mellowed out and sweetness came through. When I added ginger ale, it tasted distinctly of pineapple. Slightly spicy aftertaste.
Fruity. Makes for a very floral Gin Rickey
smooth, floral with slight sweetness.
A bit fruity great to mix
