Product Information
To create Portobello Road Sloe & Blackcurrant Gin we distill a botanically intense version of our 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 for several months in ex-whiskey barrels at our home, The Distillery, on London's iconic Portobello Road.
