Hendrick's Gin Hendrick's Gin Hendrick's Gin is a brand of gin produced by William Grant & Sons at the Girvan distillery, Scotland, and launched in 1999. In addition to the traditional juniper infusion, Hendrick's uses Bulgarian rose and cucumber to add flavour. Hendrick's gin is bottled in a dark brown, apothecary-style bottle. Hendrick's uses a blend of spirits produced from a Carter-Head Still (constructed in 1948), of which there are only a few in the world, and a small pot still, built in 1860 by Bennett, Sons & Shears. Both have been restored to working order after being bought at auction in
Flavour (particle physics) description of the flavour symmetry is described by a chiral group . If all quarks had non-zero but equal masses, then this chiral symmetry is broken to the "vector symmetry" of the "diagonal flavour group" , which applies the same transformation to both helicities of the quarks. This reduction of symmetry is a form of "explicit symmetry breaking". The amount of explicit symmetry breaking is controlled by the current quark masses in QCD. Even if quarks are massless, chiral flavour symmetry can be spontaneously broken if the vacuum of the theory contains a chiral condensate (as it does in low-energy
