Distillation and production
Production method
Recipes and experiments are developed in the educational space (The Ginstitute) using a small copper still for trials and blends; commercial production is carried out at specialised external facilities under technical supervision. A neutral grain spirit (from cereals) is used as the base and botanicals are integrated according to the recipes developed at The Ginstitute.
Distillation
Recipes and trials are developed on a small copper still (Copernicus II, 30L) at The Ginstitute; commercial production is performed at specialised distilleries/facilities in the United Kingdom (production partnerships).
Producer history Portobello
The project began around 2011 in Notting Hill, above the Portobello Star pub, when the founders opened The Ginstitute as a gin museum/workshop and installed a small copper still (Copernicus II) for experiments. From The Ginstitute's work Portobello Road No.171 was developed; commercial production was later carried out in dedicated facilities and the brand expanded with limited editions and flavored variants.
Production philosophy
Combining history, education and experimentation: the brand was born as an expression of London's gin culture, favouring recipes inspired by traditional gins and offering educational experiences (The Ginstitute) to teach about botanicals and distillation.
Territory
Notting Hill (Portobello Road), London. Conceived and marketed as a London gin; commercial production takes place in the United Kingdom.
