Launched every year on 21 October to mark the birthday of Portobello Road Gin and it’s founder Mr Ged Feltham, each year’s Directors Cut is based on a different recipe.

The concept for this year’s asparagus expression was conceived by the four directors of Portobello Road Gin: Ged Feltham, Paul Lane, Jake Burger and Tom Coates, who wanted to produce a gin using hand-selected botanicals.

“We’ve been experimenting with the more unusual botanicals for years and have dreamed of hand-picking our own botanicals and using them to bring a special edition gin to the market”, said Lane.
