View All (7)When the nights draw in, Sipsmith Sloe is my go-to. The rich sloe berry compote with jammy sweetness is comforting, the dry herbal notes add complexity, and at 29% it's gentle enough for fireside sipping.
3 March 2026Sipsmith's sloe berry compote character is gorgeous — jammy sweetness with underlying juniper, citrus peel hints, and dry herbal complexity. The sweet fruity entry at 29% ABV with concentrated berry and tart tannin counterpoint is superb.
26 February 2026What elevates Sipsmith above other sloe gins is how the juniper and coriander from the base gin peek through the berry fruit. At 29% ABV there's proper spirit character beneath the sweetness. The lemon peel adds a welcome brightness.
