First Impressions
Portobello Road Savoury Gin adds bergamot, rosemary, basil and green olive to their London Dry base, with a pinch of sea salt after distillation. Sugar-free and Mediterranean-inspired, it was designed for restaurateurs who want a Martini gin that reminds drinkers gin was always meant to be savoury.
Tasting
The nose shows juniper, citrus and herbal rosemary-basil. On the palate, bright and vibrant — nutmeg heat, sea salt, olive dryness. The finish is saline on the lips, inviting another glass.
The Bottom Line
Portobello Road Savoury earns an 8 for a gin that reminds the world gin was always savoury. The olive-salt-rosemary combination creates Martini perfection, and the sugar-free commitment ensures authenticity. A bartender's and foodie's essential.
