Sipsmith Sloe Gin Special Edition 2013 Autumn Harvest

Sipsmith Sloe Gin Special Edition 2013 Autumn Harvest 750 ml

• Description: Sipsmith Sloe Gin Special Edition 2013 Autumn Harvest is a limited release vintage from the esteemed Sipsmith Distillery. This special edition highlights the unique characteristics of the sloe berries harvested in the autumn of 2013. Like all of Sipsmith's Sloe Gins, it begins with their award-winning London Dry Gin, which is then left to macerate on wild sloe berries. Sipsmith is known for its careful approach to sugar levels, resulting in a well-balanced sloe gin that avoids excessive sweetness. This vintage bottling allows for subtle variations in flavor based on the specific harvest conditions of that year. It is bottled at 29.0% ABV.

• Tasting Notes:

  • Aroma: The nose is rich and thick, with pronounced notes of plump, round black cherries that suggest a gentle sugar syrup. Hints of other berries like blackcurrant and blueberry add balance to the sloe notes. The signature Sipsmith gin botanicals are subtle underneath, offering faint impressions of spices and juniper.
  • Palate: The palate bursts with jammy and fruity notes, distinguishing it from many other sloe gins. Cherry and sloe flavors are prominent early on. The berries are balanced, allowing warm hints of stewed citrus zests, piney juniper, and apple pie spice to shine through, creating an impression akin to a sloe pie.
  • Finish: The finish is exceptionally long, with spiced plums dancing on the palate and impressive staying power. The sweetness is well-judged, avoiding the cloying or cough syrup notes found in some sloe gins.

• Summary: Sipsmith Sloe Gin Special Edition 2013 Autumn Harvest is a highly regarded vintage release, celebrated for its exceptional balance, robust sloe flavor, and the noticeable presence of the underlying high-quality gin. It avoids excessive sweetness, offering a complex and nuanced profile with prominent cherry and sloe notes complemented by citrus, spice, and a long, satisfying finish. This special edition is considered by many to be one of the finest sloe gins available, excellent on its own or in classic sloe gin cocktails.
