SIPSMITH SLOE GIN

Sipsmith London Sloe Gin

Sloe Gin (Liqueur) | 29% ABV (58 Proof) | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Crafted by London’s pioneering copper-pot distillery, Sipsmith Sloe Gin begins with their award-winning London Dry Gin. Wild sloes are handpicked in autumn and macerated in the gin for three to four months. A touch of sugar is added before bottling, resulting in a naturally deep ruby-red spirit that balances fruity richness with botanical elegance.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh redcurrant, ripe winter berries, with hints of almond and marzipan

• Palate: Jammy cassis, soft cherry, blackberry jam, with juniper and subtle citrus botanicals

• Finish: Long and warming, transitioning from sweet fruit to gentle tartness and nutty almond spice

What Makes It Special

• Made with Sipsmith’s pot-distilled London Dry rather than neutral base spirits

• Hand-harvested sloes from British hedgerows ensure authentic seasonal flavour

• Vintage-dated limited editions reflect yearly growing conditions

• Traditional sweet-tart balance with complexity and restraint

• Revives historic English sloe gin traditions with modern craft quality

How to Enjoy

Serve slightly chilled or over ice as a warming digestif. Perfect in cocktails like the classic Sloe Gin Fizz, Sloe Negroni, or gently mixed with tonic water and an orange wedge.
