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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diistil) for 24-hours before being bottled. The spirit is a [limited-edition offering with only 600 bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upstate-vodka-black-oxford) 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.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Asparagus-based Products:** Opportunity for creating unique and innovative products that utilize asparagus in new and interesting ways beyond traditional cuisine. - **Limited-edition Spirits:** Limited edition spirits created with unique ingredients and flavors can be used to generate buzz and interest among consumers. - **Small-batch Distillation:** The trend towards smaller-batch distillation provides an opportunity for experimentation with niche and unusual ingredients in spirits. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** Asparagus can be utilized in various ways in the food and beverage industry, from new asparagus-based products to innovative dishes and cocktails. - **Alcoholic Beverages:** The creation of unique and innovative spirits, such as the Portobello Road Distillery British Asparagus Vodka, can generate interest in the alcoholic beverages industry. - **Agriculture:** The use of unique and niche ingredients in spirits, such as asparagus, could drive demand for specific agricultural products and create new opportunities for growers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Savory Asparagus Gins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asparagin.md) - [Umami Mushroom Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/local-heroes-no-1-mushroom-cabinet-vodka.md) - [Pungent Wasabi Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasabi-vodka.md) - [Wormwood-Made British Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wormwood-vodka.md) - [Planet-Positive Pea Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pod-pea-vodka.md) - [Refreshing Pea Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pea-pod-vodka.md) - [Ethical Flavored Vodka Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-barn-orchard-vodka.md) - [Crisp Autumnal Apple Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-grass-vodka-apple.md) - [Handcrafted Welsh Vodka Spirits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hensol-castle-vodka.md)
