Plymouth Sloe Gin

Plymouth Sloe Gin is a liqueur made by steeping sloe berries, the fruit of the blackthorn bush, in Plymouth Gin with a small amount of sugar and soft Dartmoor water. This process typically takes around four months, allowing the gin to extract the rich, fruity flavor and deep ruby red color from the berries.

Key Features:

• Base Gin: Made with the award-winning Plymouth Gin, which has a smoother and more earthy profile compared to London Dry gins.
• Sloe Berries: Wild sloe berries are handpicked, traditionally after the first frost to enhance their sweetness.
• Production: The sloe berries are gently steeped in the gin with a low amount of sugar to allow the natural flavor of the fruit to shine through, along with a hint of almond from the sloe stones. It's an all-natural product with no added flavorings or colorings.
• ABV: Typically bottled at 26% (52 proof), which is characteristic of a sloe gin liqueur.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A deep and inviting ruby red color.
• Nose: Rich aromas of ripe sloe berries, often with notes of plum, black cherry, and a subtle hint of almond. You might also detect the underlying earthy and slightly citrusy notes of the Plymouth Gin.
• Palate: Smooth and velvety texture with a balanced interplay of sweet and tart fruit flavors. Expect the distinct taste of sloe berries, reminiscent of berry jam, with a touch of almond and a gentle warmth from the alcohol. The sweetness is present but not overpowering, allowing the natural dry acidity of the fruit to contribute to the taste.
• Finish: Long and elegant, with a lingering warmth and a refined smoothness, often with a final hint of fruit and a touch of dryness.
