Hendrick's Midsummer Solstice

I don’t like sweet, fruity gin normally but this was just at the cusp. A good squeeze of lemon with the tonic brought out mango flavours. Very drinkable.

Had this in a pub with a splash of light tonic, and slices of cucumber and orange. Absolutely stunning. I am not a fan of sweet drinks but this was not sweet or sugary, just full of interesting flavours.

I agree with the last review - this is a rather sweet gin. I love original Hendricks, but this one is not for me as I find the taste far too fruity and floral, which really overpowers the juniper notes.

Not a bad gin, standard Hendricks quality. I found it a bit too sweet for my liking found myself wanting to move on to a more complex spice based gin after a couple of g&TS.
I think it's a great gin if you prefer your gins sweet, worked really well in an elderflower martini. Maybe not the gin for you if you don't have a sweet tooth though.

A superb gin (or 2) when taken straight or with a couple of cubes for rounding off the evening. personally I wouldn't drown it with a mixer or smother the flavour with lemon, maybe a bit of sparkling water to take the edge off and release the fragrance. Hendricks standard is already superb but cant be awarded 5* because this is even better.

Probably the best way to spend a sunny afternoon so far, it's absolutely delicious, perfect not sweet, refreshing, trying as a gift but would definitely buy for myself.
