New 2026 Vintage Available NOW Why Asparagus? When we first launched the Ginstitute back in 2011 we very much wanted to offer our guests not just a choice of the traditional gin botanicals to use gin their blend but also some more esoteric flavours and one of the first ones we experimented with was English Asparagus. It has remained in our selection ever since and has become something of a talisman for us, so in 2015 when we launched the first Ltd Edition Portobello Road Gin our Directors Cut Edition Nº1. Asparagus seemed to be a logical flavour to incorporate, we only made a. thousand bottles

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as PORTOBELLO ROAD DRINKS LIMITED, number 15964768. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Nestled away on the top two floors of a 19th century public house on London's world famous Portobello Road is The Ginstitute" Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
