A gin worth waiting for. To craft this British classic, we distil our award-winning London Dry Gin on our copper stills. Then we leave it to rest on wild sloe berries for 3-4 months to be picked in the autumn before their Head Distiller tastes it, declaring the batch ready. The result is a truly handmade, delicious, sweet and fruity gin that is subtle, complex, bursting with cherry ripeness and subtle notes of almond. It’s perfect for cocktails or charming enough to be sipped on its own.
The process for our Sloe Gin production begins in the autumn when our sloe berries (a hedgerow fruit in the plum family) are picked and left to rest with our Lonndon Dry Gin. Year-on-year, the harvests vary due to the ever changing, unpredictable British weather. Much like a good wine, every vintage that we produce has its own wonderfully unique character, with Sipsmith quality guaranteed. Think of sloe gin as Britain's national liqueur, as limoncello is to Italy. It's sensationally sippable in a whole host of gin cocktails, and can be added to a number of our London Dry Gin cocktails to add a dose of berry sweetness.
