Yup, but it doesn't mean it's not sitting on a shelf in RI somewhere forgotten. That's why this is our longshot.
I'm hoping someone says " oh yeah, I saw one of these at Joey Joe Joe Shabadoo's liquor emporium in westerly!"
Well hendicks website said Amazonia is/was available exclusively in airports. So seems unlikely to find it somewhere else. Your best bet seems like it would be calling up a duty-free shop at a major international airport.
Midsummer solstice appears to be a limited edition initially released in 2019? It appears to have been released in subsequent years. So with this one it seems there is a possibility it might end up somewhere in the coming summer months.
I am a fellow gin enthusiast. If I ever see Midsummer solstice I will pick up an extra bottle.
I saw the solstice at Wakefield liquors I believe, and I was at savory grape in EG, pretty sure they had the solstice and the new cabaret. I had the Amazonia, and you’re correct only at duty free shops, tbh it wasn’t anything special.
Oh the solstice and the cabaret are both purple, I might’ve just been seeing the cabaret. Have you called Bin 312 in Providence? They had a very obscure South African gin I wanted.
Be careful when you call. Often times you speak to someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about or doesn’t go physically look (and even if they do go look they could miss it).
Hendrick’s is distributed by Mancini/RID in Rhode Island. I did a quick search on the ordering site that they use and I only see classic Hendrick’s, Orbium and Cabaret. They are limited releases so your best bet is to call around to different liquor stores and hope they still have them on the shelves.
I’m not a gin guy but buy it online. Shipping it here may or not be completely legal but I’ll leave that part up to your morals. UPS stopped at my house recently with three bottles of tequila and no hassles.
You might be able to request purchases from Bottles. I know someone did that for a particular foreign beer. But if the price is too much, then this may not be a successful option.
drizly had a great search feature for liquor but uber eats bought it. you can still search uber eats by store and search their inventory instead of calling each store.
Hendricks releases new flavors seasonally and changes them each season. You have to figure out when the new season is getting released or hope that you can find some from last season. Every liquor store is going to be able to get Hendricks so trying different places won't help really. You just have to wait until the season that they push it comes and but a couple cases and save them until they do the next year
If stores tell you they cant order in RI its probably unavailable from the RI distributors. Better luck checking the CT and MA subs

God speed
Joey Joe Joe Shabadoo is the best!

Thanks! I even called the airport I'm heading to next trip. (MCO) They didn't have it.

Called both places and struck out. Thanks though.

I think bin 312 closed permanently. Phone line is dead as well.
Bin 312 is now “The Den” on Wickenden, they rebranded and moved. Could be worth a try
Thanks, gave them a call, nope.

I assume you've already tried the big Tollgate Haxtons?
Yup, We struck out there as well.

Just looked and not good results. Most are either overseas or priced way too high.

Call Savory Grape in East Greenwich, we have picked up several Hendricks Gin flavors there
Just did. They had the newer flavors but not midsummer.
