6 O'clock Gin - Sloe Gin
6 O'clock Sloe Gin is a traditional and exquisite English liqueur, meticulously crafted by infusing hand-picked wild sloe berries into their award-winning 6 O'clock London Dry Gin. Allowed to macerate slowly over several months, the gin gently extracts the rich, dark fruit flavors and a subtle almond note from the berries. The result is a beautifully balanced, sweet yet tart, and wonderfully vibrant sloe gin that captures the essence of the English countryside. Perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as a delightful addition to cocktails.
