The seventh expression from London’s Portobello Road core range, Portobello Road Savoury Gin is a sugar-free Mediterranean-inspired gin that has been designed for restaurateurs and foodies. Admittedly, its creation has become understood as a kick-back from all of the sweet and fruity gin iterations now available in an effort to shake things up a little and show that gin doesn’t need to hide behind a floral or fruity identity to be popular. Seen as a rebel-move by the distiller, to remind gin lovers that true gins are juniper-led and hint at more savoury notes, the gin is pegged as a hat-tip to gin and its truly traditional origins with a juniper nose and a moreish range of supporting botanicals, while also identifying itself as a ‘new style’ of gin simply to stand out from the crowd.
