Description
The making of fruit gins has long been a tradition in the English countryside, and ours keeps true to a recipe dating back to 1883. The Nose – A clear character of mellow sloe berries, it’s fruity with notes of sweet cherry and a slight scent of almonds The Palate – Fruity, smooth and full-bodied, with a perfect balance of sweet and dry The Finish – Long, fresh and fruity A 750ml bottle of Plymouth Sloe Gin (26% abv). Sloe berries are slowly and gently steeped in Plymouth Gin, soft pure Dartmoor water and a small amount of sugar for approximately 4 months. The sugar levels are kept low to allow the full flavour of the berries to shine and allow the dry acidity of the fruit to be an important part of the taste. The result is an entirely natural product with no added flavourings or colourings. Sloe Gin has long been enjoyed as a ’winter warmer’ in the countryside.
