Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Portobello Road, Special Reserve 101 is a limited edition release from the London-based distillery. This London dry gin is made with a base of potato spirit which was rested in oak before distillation, for a touch of oak softness without the colour. The classic Portobello Road botanicals have been given a tweak here too, using 50% more juniper and doubling the maceration time. The result is a gin with a whole load of, well, ‘gin-ness’, that holds its own in a G&T, and makes a cracking Martini of course.

Portobello Road No. 171 Gin – Special Reserve 101 | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Intense Juniper but still with that Portobello DNA running through it – like all our products do – with distinct notes of citrus and winter spice on the nose, and perhaps the gentlest suggestion of flowers and perfume.

Palate: The creaminess and the weight are immediately apparent, it coats the mouth and sticks to the tongue, the Juniper dominates at first but gives way to the lemon, orange and eventually to the festive flavour of cassia and nutmeg

Finish: As one might expect at 50.5% it is distinctly, erm noticable, as it goes down, warming the cockles of the heart like a good cast strength whiskey does, the long warmth in the chest is not the only thing that lingers though, the juniper and the spice still being abundantly apparent even thirty/forty/fifty seconds after the initial sip.
