Bottled at 4.2% ABV, Temperance by Portobello Road, has been crafted especially for gin-fans who are looking to moderate their intake of alcohol yet dont want to compromise on flavour. Temperance, which means moderation, was created by Portobello Road Gins award-winning co-founder, Jake F. Burger & has been distilled using the same nine time-honoured botanicals that comprise Portobello Road Gins signature London Dry & Navy Strength. Jake developed bespoke techniques & added additional ingredients, such as naturally high mineral content water, botanical hydrosols & one or two secret ingredients to ensure the spirit harbours the intensity of flavour, texture & depth demanded by the modern drinker. The resulting flavour profile is instantly weighty, with viscosity & a pleasant acidic sharpness. In the mouth the citrus, floral, & particularly the winter spice notes are more pronounced than the nose would suggest, then eventually give way to juniper & pepper. A serve made with 50ml of Temperance mixed with 200ml tonic water holds just 0.8% ABV, while a classic equal parts Negroni made with Temperance instead of Portobello Road London Dry will be almost 50% lower in alcohol & contain just 1.1 units.
