6 O'clock Damson Gin

6 O'clock Damson Gin is a fantastically fruity and subtly sweet gin liqueur crafted by steeping masses of hand-picked British damson plums in 6 O'clock Gin's strikingly smooth London Dry Gin for at least six months. A touch of sugar is added to balance the natural tartness of the fruit. The result is a rich, ruby-red spirit that is velvety smooth with an intense depth of flavour and a pleasing fruity dryness. Bottled at 40% ABV.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Inviting aromas of ripe damsons with a subtle almond-like nuttiness from the stone. Hints of juniper and a whisper of spice provide a balanced aromatic depth. Some detect notes of apricot pit and marzipan.
• Palate: The palate bursts with the sweet and tangy flavour of damsons, harmoniously blended with the gentle warmth of gin botanicals, including juniper and a touch of spice. It is described as rich and very balanced in flavour, with plum and date notes and a flash of citrus.
• Finish: Smooth and lingering with a delicate balance of tart fruit and warming gin botanicals. The sweet damson flavour fades gradually, leaving a clean and slightly dry finish with subtle tannins. Some note a mouthwatering salinity.

Awards and Recognition:

• Chairman's Trophy at the Ultimate Beverage Challenge (2021).
• Top 100 Spirits at the Ultimate Beverage Challenge (2021).
• Gold Outstanding at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (2018).

Overall Impression: 6 O'clock Damson Gin is a delightful and well-crafted fruit gin that stands out for its intense, natural damson flavour and smooth character. Unlike many fruit gins, it retains a noticeable gin kick, making it versatile for sipping, enjoying with tonic, or adding a fruity depth to cocktails. The balance between sweetness and tartness, along with the subtle gin botanicals, creates a sophisticated and enjoyable spirit. The awards it has received underscore its exceptional quality and position as a benchmark for damson gin.
