Sloe Gin

Made using wild English grown sloe berries, steeped for several months with Haymans gin before being blended with natural sugar, Haymans Sloe Gin is a rich red liqueur with a smooth, bitter sweet fruit flavour.Source - www.hancocks.co.nz

A sloe gin from the brilliant Belgian distillery, Filliers. Whilst you might see sloe gin as a purely British commodity, like fish & chips or tweed jackets, the talented folks at Filliers certainly know how to whip one up to rival many of the best Britain has to offer.

Rich and jammy with cherries, figs and plums, alongside classic notes of juniper and cinnamon, Filliers Sloe Gin is just the ticket to warm you up on a chilly winter evening, but just as good splashed into a refreshing cocktail.

Nose: Plum jam springs to mind, but so does sweet chutney. There's a savoury edge too, well seasoned bread sauce with clove perhaps. More perfumed given time in the glass.

Palate: Boom! Thick, dark cherry and prune with juniper and cinnamon, where did that come from?

Finish: Mouthcoating, tart and oh so moreish.

This is a rare NZ grown slow gin, available each Spring.

Each bottle is packed with Sloe berries with rich Plum & Almond flavors, and just a hint of sugar syrup is added to create a drink with the perfect balance of tartness, warmth & flavor to get your taste buds humming.
