NEW YORK CITY (BY WAY OF GIRVAN, SCOTLAND) – MARCH 3, 2025: Hendrick's Gin introduces OASIUM, its latest wonder from Master Distiller Lesley Gracie’s beloved Cabinet of Curiosities. This limited release reimagines Hendrick’s through a lush blend of green botanicals, delicate herbs, and a kiss of citrus that captures a sensory oasis in every sip.
Lesley Gracie has long been captivated by crafting intriguing botanical blends to tell the stories of her personal experiences, and to mark the sixth release from the Cabinet of Curiosities, she drew inspiration from a curious expedition to a desert oasis. Following an unusual journey involving camel polo and sun-drenched sands, Lesley found herself enthralled by a hidden paradise brimming with cooling herbs and vibrant fruits. She bottled this experience in the form of OASIUM, inviting imbibers to embark on a journey that unfolds through exquisite flavors, awakening curiosity and satiating adventurous spirits.
“I find endless inspiration in my surroundings, and every time I see the palm trees in the Hendrick’s Gin Palace, I’m transported back to this extraordinary trip,” said Lesley Gracie. “It was such a remarkable journey that I had to capture it in a gin, preserving the memory forever. As someone who’s always in search of new flavors, it was fascinating to see what plants grow and thrive in an oasis. There’s a very distinct, fresh green character and bright citrus note to Hendrick’s OASIUM, rounded off by aromatic herbs that play delightfully well together. ”
Utilizing the beloved Hendrick’s Gin as a base and building on its iconic infusions of rose and cucumber, OASIUM brings an invigorating twist to the classic, ideal for gin enthusiasts seeking a flavor as vibrant as the desert sun. This limited release enchants the senses with a vibrant blend of citrus and herbal notes, showcasing desert-inspired botanicals that lift its crisp, green profile to new heights. Silky layers of flavor harmonize with aromatic herbs, culminating in a refreshing finish with a zesty twist.
“Hendrick’s OASIUM transports you to a refreshing sanctuary and each sip reveals layers of botanical intrigue,” says Vance Henderson, Hendrick’s Gin National Ambassador. “Its versatility shines brilliantly in cocktails – whether elevating a classic Gin & Tonic with our signature cucumber garnish or delivering a tangy thrill in the OASIUM Fizz. Fresh grapefruit juice complements the gin’s vibrant notes, resulting in a divine twist reminiscent of a Paloma, perfect for all manners of gathering together under sun or stars.”
OASIUM resides in the Hendrick’s signature apothecary-style bottle, this time with an eye-catching, radiant orange label. As with all releases from the Cabinet of Curiosities, just one limited-edition expression is released at a time, so sip and savor it while you can. Hendrick’s OASIUM is bottled at 43.4% ABV with a $39.99 MSRP.
