Portobello RoadSavoury

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.
