Portobello Road Gin have created the first ever London Dry Gin made with British Asparagus. The limited edition ‘Directors’ Cut’ distillation contains a unique blend of botanicals including asparagus from Cambridgeshire, harvested by Director Paul Lane.
The concept of the ‘Directors’ Cut’ edition was conceived by the four Directors of Portobello Road Gin: Ged Feltham, Paul Lane, Jake Burger and Tom Coates who wanted to satisfy their desire to produce a very special gin, for which they could hand-source the botanicals themselves.
1,000 bottles of this distinctively nutty-flavoured spirit will be available for juniper-loving fans to buy this October.
Paul Lane comments “We’ve played around with the botanical of British Asparagus at the Ginstitute for a couple of years, where gin fans can come up with their own creation but this is the first time we’ve worked with a producer directly to select the produce and create a gin for sale. This is not a gin for everybody but those who like it love it. Before you ask, no it doesn’t…”
