Tasting Notes
Nose
Rich slightly tart sloe berry — jammy berry notes with aromatic nuttiness
Palate
Sloe berry again with deep resinous juniper — sweetness from fruit followed by marzipan, piney core with juicy sloe and soft spice, dry and clean despite being sloe gin
Finish
Long with fruit slowly fading to dry cinnamon bark spiciness — the liquorice sweetener creating clean dry close instead of cloying sugar
Expert Review
8/10A dry, clear sloe gin — sloes steeped six months, liquorice used as sweetener instead of sugar (50x sweeter than sugar). Layers of flavour with a floral ending. Yorkshire innovation.
