Last call for the curious…

Hendrick’s Gin invites you to celebrate *hopefully* your last lockdown weekend above the clouds, by transporting you on an unforgettable virtual journey to the magical and mystical Hendrick’s Gin Palace, hidden in the sunny Scottish coastal town of Girvan. All from comfort of your own home!

On Friday 9th April, Hendrick’s Gin will welcome the curious aboard Hendrick’s Air, a, fully equipped with a First Class Hendrick’s Air Travel Kit. The world’s only airline run by a gin brand will help intrepid travellers escape the conventional and be transported to the delectable, creating a last virtual hurrah ahead of the hospitality industry reopening its doors the following week.

The immersive experience will culminate in a never-before-seen tour of the Hendrick’s Gin Palace – the wonderful distillery in Girvan – where every drop of Hendrick’s consumed around the world has flowed through the copper stills under the watchful eye of Master Distiller, Ms Lesley Gracie. It is the first time Hendrick’s Gin Palace is opening its doors to the public, so it is a once in a blue moon chance not to be missed!

Hosted by a curious Cucumber Pilot, as well as the exquisite Hendrick’s Gin Ambassadors Sasha Filimonov and Sarah Berardi, travellers will even get to meet the woman, the myth, the Master Distiller, herself… Ms Lesley Gracie – for a live tour through the nooks and crannies of our cucumber and rose-infused homeplace. The flight has only a limited number of seats and is sure to book up quickly – as this is *THE* destination to head to this spring.

All of this will be enjoyed while sipping Hendrick’s cocktails, be they created by yourselves during the experience using our Limited Release Hendrick’s Lunar Gin or Classic Hendrick’s Gin; or ready-to-pour tantalising tipples from some of the best bars in the world, such as Lyaness, The Connaught and Panda & Sons. Indeed, prior to departure all passengers will receive an extraordinary First Class Hendrick’s Air Travel Kit, with all the ingredients and amenities to ensure the cucumber-blimp experience is peculiarly rose-tinted, and the finest of first class.

Curious? We thought you would be.

The one-of-a-kind First Class Hendrick’s Air Travel Kit will include:

• An exclusive Hendrick’s Air boarding pass, granting you access to your journey
• An array of in-flight luxuries to help make your journey is optimum, including facial mist and an eye mask to ensure perfectly undisturbed daydreaming

• Exquisite bespoke ultra-premium crystal glassware, including a Tini Martini glass and a crystal-cut highball glass
• Ingredients to make additional Hendrick’s Gin cocktails at home including a Limited Release Hendrick’s Lunar Celestial Spritz and a Hendrick’s Gin Cucumber Lemonade, paired with Fever-Tree

And those who are afraid of flights needn’t worry, there is no air turbulence where the Hendrick’s Air cucumber-blimp flies, only a journey as smooth, perfect and well-rounded as Hendrick’s Gin itself… From a virtual departure lounge experience to in-flight entertainment, the journey to Girvan will be just as peculiar and full of exploration as the destination itself.

Hendrick’s Gin Ambassador, Sasha Filimonov, comments, “This past year has given new meaning to the idea of mundanity… leaving us stuck at home and patiently yearning for freedom to travel once again to experience the world and all its wonders. The Hendrick’s Air experience is a virtual immersive escape from the confines of our homes, all wrapped up in one perfectly peculiar cucumber and rose-tinted package, with a portion of the ticket proceeds going to support the hospitality trade, through The Drinks Trust.

“Ready for adventure? Take a leap into the peculiar and join us for a mesmerising and uniquely Hendrick’s immersion – transporting you to a world of whimsical oddity and delightful delectableness.”

Hendrick’s Air tickets will be available until the 31st March, at a price of £55 for a solo traveller, £100 for a duo and £200 for the household (four people). The First Class Hendrick’s Air Travel Kit will include enough items for the number of travellers departing on the Cucumber-blimp.
