Sipsmith's sloe gin begins in the fall, when sloe berries (a hedgerow fruit in the plum family) are picked and left to rest with Sipsmith London Dry Gin. Harvests vary with the British weather, so, like a good wine, each vintage has its own character. Think of sloe gin as Britain's national liqueur, as limoncello is to Italy.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Redcurrant and ripe winter fruits with stone-fruit almond.
Palate: Cassis with soft cherry hints and a rounded fruitiness.
Finish: Velvety mouthfeel and balanced sweetness.
How to Use: A Sloe Drizzle, a Sloe-groni, or a Hot Mulled Sloe on a chilly day.
