The making of fruit gins has long been a tradition in the English countryside, and Plymouth's sloe gin keeps true to a recipe dating back to 1883. Sloe berries are slowly and gently steeped in Plymouth Gin, soft pure Dartmoor water and a small amount of sugar for approximately four months. The sugar levels are kept low so the full flavor of the berries shines and the dry acidity of the fruit remains an important part of the taste. The result is an entirely natural product with no added flavorings or colorings, long enjoyed as a winter warmer.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A clear character of mellow sloe berries, fruity, with notes of sweet cherry and a slight scent of almonds.
Palate: Fruity, smooth and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweet and dry.
Finish: Long, fresh and fruity.
ABV: 26%
