In late 2011, nestled above a 19th century drinking establishment on London's world famous Portobello Road, three longtime friends and gin collectors decided to open The Ginstitute, London's premier educational institute and home to "Copernicus II", a 30L alembic copper pot still.
For the gin, the base spirit is distilled here in England from English-grown wheat. The nine botanical ingredients come from around the world and include juniper berries and orris from Tuscany, Spanish lemon peels, bitter orange peels from Haiti or Morocco, nutmeg from Indonesia and cassia bark from South East Asia.
Portobello's gins have won multiple awards and are particularly revered by food connoisseurs and bartenders alike for their bold, but classy flavours. They shine in simple long drinks with a mixer and make cocktails really pop with flavour!
