PORTOBELLO ROAD NO 171 SAVOURY GIN
Savoury Gin started life as a Distillery product, served exclusively at home at 186 Portobello Road. It started out as a gin called King Theodore of Corsica, an experiment which was once again inspired by delving into the history of gin drinking in London. Sounds like a curious name for a gin, ‘King Theodore of Corsica’, but once upon a time there were many curious names for gin, such as Madame Genever, Diddle, Crank, Hearts Ease, Cats Water, Lighting, Daffy, to name but a few! Taking the idea of a gin for the King of Corsica as jumping off point decided to create a gin inspired by the botanicals of Corsica and the surrounding Mediterranean area. Joining the classic set of botanicals that use for Portobello Road London Dry Gin, also added, bergamot, rosemary, basil and green olive, and like with Portobello’s Navy Gin just a tiny pinch of sea salt after distillation to give it that slight hint of coastal air.

On the nose, this gin is exactly what you’d expect from both the name, the packaging and the list of botanicals, it’s still clearly gin, lots of juniper lots of citrus, but it is those delightful herbal notes from the basil and particularly the rosemary.In the mouth hits bright and vibrant, again with a nice dry finish, perhaps a little less spicy in flavour than some of the other gins but still with that lingering nutmeg heat, and like with the navy strength that tint hit of salt leaves you wanting more and the green olive gives us a lingering sense of dryness.It transports you to the heady sunny days of summer and holidays to the Med. Great with food too, if you don’t feel like opening a bottle of wine.
