The Portobello Road Distillery British Asparagus Vodka is part of the brand's expanded vodka line that's positioned as the world's first vodka distilled with real asparagus. The limited-edition spirit is crafted with asparagus sourced from the Alley family on the Portwood Farm in Norfolk, which is then steeped in British potato vodka for 24-hours before being bottled. The spirit is a limited-edition offering with only 600 bottles arriving in the UK.
Co-Founder Jake Burger commented on the new Portobello Road Distillery British Asparagus Vodka saying, "When you give our British Asparagus Vodka a good old sniff, there’s no mistaking what it is – right away you’re hit with the unique aroma of asparagus, joined by a slight nuttiness. If we could imagine smell as a colour, it is distinctly green on the nose. When you take a sip, again, the flavour of asparagus arrives early and lingers long, with a surprising amount of sweetness."
