Talk:Hendrick's Gin

Untitled
"unique distillation" and "unlock the taste" make this sound like a commercial shill. (unsigned comment from DrHydeous)

 * Took out the unique.. and if there are 3 other Carter-Head Stills in the world, then it's a misnomer to call Hendrick's distillation unique. :) Rhobite 20:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * from dictionary.com "Usage Note: For many grammarians, unique is the paradigmatic absolute term, a shibboleth that distinguishes between those who understand that such a term cannot be modified by an adverb of degree or a comparative adverb and those who do not. These grammarians would say that a thing is either unique or not unique and that it is therefore incorrect to say that something is very unique or more unique than something else. Most of the Usage Panel supports this traditional view. Eighty percent disapprove of the sentence Her designs are quite unique in today's fashions. But as the language of advertising in particular attests, unique is widely used as a synonym for worthy of being considered in a class by itself, extraordinary and if so construed it may arguably be modified. In fact, unique appears as a modified adjective in the work of many reputable writers. A travel writer states that "Chicago is no less unique an American city than New York or San Francisco," for example, and the critic Fredric Jameson writes "The great modern writers have all been defined by the invention or production of rather unique styles." Although these examples of the qualification of unique are defensible, writers should be aware that such constructions are liable to incur the censure of some readers. See Usage Notes at absolute, equal, infinite." -Superbeecat 08:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it really the number one selling gin in the US? It doesn't cite any sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.61.62 (talk) 20:48, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's extremely unlikely that Hendrick's is the #1 selling gin, so I removed this statement. If someone has a citation for this they're welcome to add it, but I'd be surprised if something like Gordon's wasn't the best selling gin. They certainly don't use Hendrick's for all those gin & tonics that people order. Rhobite (talk) 12:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hendrick's marketing actually brags that practically nobody drinks it, which is a good thing, they say, because it is so hard to make!--John Bessa (talk) 12:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

No mention of the strength ? I'm not 100% sure but I think in the UK its 43ish and export is 47ish. Darwin-rover (talk) 21:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Cocktails
Much to my surprise, I see cocktail recipes here in the WP. I am moving soon and have a bottle of it to finish as I don't want an open container in my car. I am finding that this booze defies mixing--the only diluter that makes sense being vermouth, which I find boring! Hendrick's site is no help; it just repeats other gin recipes. Any suggestions? If anyone has an orginal idea, we can extend it on the Wikiversity, which thrives on OR. --John Bessa (talk) 12:46, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Distillation
Do you find odd the fact that almost half of the article describes the difference between a pot styill and a Carter-Head still ? I think the section should concentrate on the product itself and details on the process should rather be presented in the pot still article. zubrowka 74 17:38, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

POV tagging?
This article has just been tagged for a "POV check", with the instruction to see this talk: page for an explanation of what's wrong with it. I can't see any such explanation. Nor can I see any POV issues. Andy Dingley (talk) 20:00, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
