First, Sipsmith distil their award-winning London Dry Gin on their copper stills. Then they leave it to rest on wild sloe berries, picked in the autumn. The result is a truly handmade sloe gin that is subtle, complex and bursting with flavour.
Despite its name, sloe gin is not a gin. It is a red liqueur made with sloes, a type of berry from the sloe (or blackthorn) bush. The sloe is a blue-black fruit which is a type of plum and can look like a cross between that and a blueberry. The sloe has a very tart taste and it’s not recommended to eat them raw.
