Portobello Road brings us the gin-y goodness this week for Classic Sunday! Sticking with its London roots we have; a London Calling (Portobello Road, Tio Pepe, Lemon, Bitters) and a London Maid (Portobello Road, Mint, Cucumber, Lime). £6 each, all night long.

The base spirit is distilled here in England from English-grown wheat. The 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.

In the nine months of experimentation that followed the character of the gin was slowly created - a little more of this, a little less of that, this one makes a nice Martini, that one makes a nice Negroni, well you get the picture. Slowly but surely something they could be proud of emerged. Thus Portobello Road No 171 Gin was born.
