The exhaustive tome, written, designed and produced by the talented personages at Quaker City succeeds marvelously in bringing the Hendrick’s Gin brand to life, and is sure to quickly become an indispensable addition to every tippler’s library. The full-color, case-bound book features 146 glorious pages of in-depth information about the most unusual Hendrick’s Gin, as well as an expansive collection of recipes culled from the world over. In addition, the volume also touches upon such pertinent points as follows:

The limited edition Field Guide will be distributed through select channels worldwide.
Quaker City Mercantile is responsible for the critically acclaimed Hendrick’s Gin recipe, a truly unique blend of juniper, coriander, citrus peel, cucumber and rose petal, as well as the package design and all advertisements and creative for the brand.

About Hendrick’s Gin
Hendrick’s is an iconoclastically produced small batch gin distilled in Ayrshire, Scotland. The unusual distillation process combined with our oddly delicious set of infusions yields a one-of-a-kind gin that is passionately loved by a tiny yet growing handful of individuals all over the world.
