Sloe Gin

Award wining Sloe Gin

Our Sloe Gin is hand made in the traditional way, in small batches, using hand picked, wild, hedgerow sloes. We are often asked whose gin we use and the answer is that we make our own using amongst other ingredients juniper, cardomom and coriander.

The intense dry flavour of this traditional classic can only be achieved by using a high sloe to gin ratio, moderate sugar, then patiently and slowly maturing to produce a drink where the fruit is the predominant flavour.

A countryside favourite and hip flask filler, Sloe Gin is wonderfully warming drunk neat and widely enjoyed as an essential cocktail ingredient. For cocktail ideas click on Cocktail Recipes to the left.
