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. ...

As a huge gin fan, it is a wonderful opportunity to work with a prestigious brand like Portobello Road Gin to craft my very own unique blend. This project allowed us to share our vision & Im incredibly proud of the final product. Robust in flavour & strong in spice, it is exactly the kind of gin that I enjoy & I hope my fans will too. Jake F. Burger, co-founder of Portobello Road Gin commented: It is a huge honour to be able to work with Mark to create a London Dry Gin with a rock n roll edge. The Local Heroes collection is an occasional release of very limited edition gins created in collaboration with some of our own personal heroes & people whom we feel best to embody the spirit of Portobello Road. Mark was introduced to us by our previous Local Hero, Brett Graham. After meeting with Mark & his management team for lunch & bonding over a mutual love of music & gin, the collaboration was agreed. I worked closely with Mark to create the recipe, which was guided by his preferred gin styles. As a Portobello Road Gin fan, Mark expressed an interest in creating a more summery take on our signature blend that is also bold in flavour. To create this, we distilled our nine-time honoured botanicals adding lime zest, fresh cucumber peel & somewhat uniquely, olive oil. As expected, the flavours are totally unique & we believe the result is extremely exciting. The addition of olive oil results in a wonderfully smooth finish making it a great gin for Martinis & Gibsons, which of course shares its name with the iconic guitar br&. So why not mix yourself a cocktail, turn the stereo up & listen to one of Marks many classic albums?

Potocki Wodka (pronounced Po-toh-tski vood-ka) is a 100% rye Polish vodka crafted in small batches according to the noble Potocki family's 200-year old tradition. This artisanal product is created from freshly harvested rye
- double distilled & unfiltered for a distinctive sweet & nutty flavour. Take a look at the bottle. It is inspired by the Potocki family tradition. Its angular flask shape resembles 19th century h&- blown models from their distillery at the Lancut Estate in Poland; it carries their name & coat of arms. Yet the bottle manages to retain a modern, classic look. This is exactly what Potocki Wodka is: timeless. Potocki Wodka is best enjoyed pure & ice cold, accompanying a meal. Smoked fish & caviar are traditional companions, but Potocki also marries well with smoked or cured meats & with sweets such as chocolate, lemon, or mocha desserts. Alternatively, by shaking with ice, adding perhaps some dry vermouth & a garnish, the perfect dry martini is born. Try Potocki Wodka before a meal with hors d'oeuvres, during dinner with rich foods, or after coffee with a fine cigar. Keep your bottle in the freezer, the refrigerator, or on ice like a bottle of champagne. But regardless of how you choose to store it, make sure you serve it chilled not frozen, so as to allow the vodka's flavour to emerge. The faint bouquet of vodka is noticeable on the nose, but most of the action takes place on your palate. Good vodka can be flavourful enough to take it over & keep you entertained for a good half a minute, Potocki does that. At first it is soft & slightly sweet on the tongue. Its rich texture envelops the mouth, gradually arousing the taste buds, & you can soon see yourself ordering dinner & asking for a refill. While you are still toying in your mind with various menu options, the flavour moves to the back, turning into a long dry finish with nutty notes which are the trademark taste of Polish rye vodka. This pleasant experience is concluded by a warm feeling in your chest (and your heart). American critic Paul Pacult writes of a multilayered bouquet that begs for a half hour of sniffing & evaluation, & Robert Plotkin calls it a remarkable achievement, one worthy of top shelf treatment. British Class Magazine notes that its creamy, nutty, rye notes combine with a hint of spice to deliver an incredibly long finish.
