First Impressions
Sloemotion is an artisan distillery near Malton, Yorkshire — the food capital of Yorkshire. Their sloe gin uses whole, hand-picked sloes steeped in small batches in their quality Hedgerow London Dry Gin over a period of months. First created over fifteen years ago, it offers classic homemade sloe gin quality at commercial scale.
Tasting
The nose shows rich aromatic cherry notes from the sloe. On the palate, full flavour with cherry and a hint of almond from the stone — the quality Hedgerow London Dry base cutting through with juniper character. The finish is short and dry, the gin base providing clean structure.
The Bottom Line
Sloemotion earns a 7 for fifteen years of sloe gin expertise distilled into every bottle. The short dry finish from the London Dry base is the distinguishing feature — where many sloe gins wallow in sweetness, this one cuts clean. A Yorkshire artisan producer that deserves wider recognition.
