Almost half a pound of the finest Sloes are used to produce every bottle of this cold-compounded Sloe Gin, along with a merry band of botanicals, including juniper berries, cassia, coriander, cloves, and orange peel, which are all added to high quality copper-pot-still spirit. The result? A Sloe Gin that has tonnes and tonnes (and tonnes) of character. Serve with tonic water, or perhaps try replacing the Maraschino in your Martinez with a generous splash of Sloe Gin.
Maybe you'd like to put Bathtub Gin - Sloe Gin to the test in the Sloe Gin Sloe Mule recipe, which we've included below.
Ableforth's Sloe Gin Sloe Mule recipe:
40ml of Bathtub Sloe Gin
20ml of lime juice
3 dashes of Angostura bitters
Top with ginger beer
Build over ice in a highball glass. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose Marzipan and juniper waft up with waves of cinnamon and hot clove. Citrus swirls in the background, dancing with aromas of freshly baked cakes.
Palate Almond and berries on the entry. The berries last throughout, thick and seriously flavoursome. Hints of vanilla. Oak tannins, too.
Finish Spices last on the finish. Lip-smacking ensues.
Overall Everything you ever wanted from a Sloe Gin. Enough classic berry notes with vibrant botanicals to bring it to life. Bring on summer for some Sloe cocktails, then bring on winter for hot mulled Sloe gin. Then bring on more Sloe gin. Everything is cyclical, you see...
