Portobello Road No. 171 Gin (70cl, 42%)

Description

Portobello Road No 171 London Dry Gin is a versatile gin, ideal for a classic G&T or as a premium cocktail ingedient. On the front of the palate, Portobello Road Gin has a generous slug of juniper, the mid-palate has a sustained, fresh citrus character from our use of lemon, bitter orange and coriander, which then develops into a sweet peppery finish, achieved by the use of liquorice and nutmeg. Our base spirit is distilled here in England from English-grown wheat. Our nine botanical ingredients come from around the world; these include juniper berries and orris from Tuscany, Spanish lemon peels, bitter orange peels from Haiti or Morocco, nutmeg from Indonesia and cassia bark from South East Asia. Bottled at a punchy 42% ABV our botanical ingredients combine to create a uniquely versatile gin, with enough of those robust gin flavours like juniper, citrus and coriander to make a gin & tonic that tastes of gin not just of tonic, enough elegance to work in a Martini and because of the spices we use, enough depth of character and intensity to work in drinks like the Negroni or the multitude of modern mixology creations where it’s going to come up against other powerful flavours. Best served simply with tonic and a twist of pink grapefruit, or mixed with Campari, sweet Vermouth and an orange peel garnish for the perfect Negroni cocktail. For 10 years the team have been passionate about crafting quality, premium spirits inspired by the long, rich and on occasion miserable history of gin. After nine months of experimentation and rigorous taste tests from industry experts, Portobello Road Gin was founded, launching with what was to become a multi-award winning London Dry Gin.
