To create Portobello Road Sloe & Blackcurrant Gin they distill a botanically intense version of their classic London Dry Gin and then blend it with sloe berries foraged from the wilds of Burgundy, a French blackcurrant liqueur, an Italian cherry liqueur, and a little sugar.

Everything is then rested in ex-whiskey barrels at our home, The Distillery, on London’s iconic Portobello Road. We find it to be intensely and re-assuringly “ginny” but also possessing a multifaceted stone fruit character, a welcome syrupy sweetness, and a subtle wood influence from the barrel.
