“I don't like gin, but I love this with pink grapefruit”

Description
This gin was released by the award-winning Notting Hill bar, Portobello Star, home of the Ginsitute. This is a place where one can learn an awful lot about gin, so you would expect Portobello Road No. 171 to be rather good, and indeed it is. It's an old-style London Dry Gin, containing traditional botanicals and spices, that harks back to the gins of yesteryear.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Hot white pepper and heavy berries with plenty of juniper.
Palate
Well-integrated spice, again with a healthy dose of juniper. Soft lemon grass flavours with a hint of red berries.
Finish
Dry, fresh and cleansing citrus.
Overall
An excellent, no-nonsense gin that deserves to be a back bar staple.
