Cascading Citrus
The way the lemon and orange peel cascade across the palate is beautifully judged. The bold juniper framework supports everything, the cassia adds warmth, and at 42% ABV the liquorice sweetness is a nice surprise.

Orris Root Elegance
The whisper of powdery orris root on the nose is a lovely touch. It adds a floral elegance to the bold juniper and bright citrus. At 42% the medium to long clean juniper-citrus fade is satisfying and clean.

Solid But Familiar
Portobello Road is a well-made London Dry at 42% with good juniper and citrus. The orris root and nutmeg add interest but the overall profile is fairly conventional. Good quality but doesn't distinguish itself from the crowd.
