Hernö Slow Sloe Gin 0.5L 40% With our fifth masterpiece, Hernö Slow Sloe Gin 0.5L 40%, we stretched both time and creativity by allowing it a total of eight full months of maturation. The process begins with maturing our Hernö Dry Gin with fully ripe sloe berries to create our unique Hernö Sloe Gin. We then let it rest for a further four months in the same casks we use for our Hernö Juniper Cask Gin. The nose presents bright notes of sloe berries and plum. The taste unfolds resinous juniper pine and cedar aromas accompanied by creamy vanilla before the sloe berry fruit comes in a wave - first jammy and then rich with nutty almond.

Ableforths Bathtub Sloe Gin 0.5L 33.8% Bathtub Gin If you translate 'Bathtub Gin' literally, this gin means 'bathtub gin' and is an allusion to the time of Prohibition in America. During this time, alcohol lovers tried everything possible to get their hands on a fine tipple. In the 1920s, many tried their hand at this field as amateurs. There were many poor quality variants, often consisting of a mixture of cheap wheat distillate and water, to which additional flavors had been added. If the bottles available at the time were too big to be filled under the sink, people would resort to the bathtub tap and often the alcohol was distilled in the bathtub at home. This is how the name 'Bathtub Gin' came about. The Bathtub Sloe Gin by Ableforth is a special edition of the Bathtub Gin. The gin is produced using the cold-compounded distilling process. It is a process that has almost been forgotten. It does not use heat and therefore achieves a much better aromatic fullness. The packaging of each bottle is special: Each bottle is wrapped by hand, tied and dipped in wax. Professor Cornelius Ableforth, who is behind this impressive gin, has selected a number of herbs and spices to combine with the sloes, including coriander, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest. The Bathtub Sloe Gin As soon as you open the bottle you are surprised by an incredibly fruity aroma. In combination with the spices used, the gin creates an association with freshly baked cake. The taste then surprises you with marzipan and juniper aromas. Berries, citrus fruit and vanilla meet oak and tannin to create a harmonious taste. Bathtub Sloe Gin impresses with a spicy and long finish. You should simply enjoy this sloe gin neat, best chilled in summer and warm in winter for a change.

Foxdenton Sloe Gin 0.7L 25% The English Radclyffe family has been producing fruit liqueurs for home use for many generations. When Nicholas Radclyffe took over the family business - Foxdenton Estate Company Ltd. - in 2001, he specialized in the production of gin and gin-based liqueurs.A special highlight in the portfolio is this sloe gin, which is made according to an old family recipe. Made with high-quality sloes, this sloe gin is stronger and at the same time less sweet than comparable products. This has the advantage that the natural sloe aroma is not overpowered by the sugar and the gin also retains its natural aroma. Whether neat on ice, as a long drink with tonic water or bitter lemon or as a "sloegasm" with champagne - this sloe gin is always a pleasure.

Sloe Gin - Gin flavored with sloes
Sloe gin is a gin liqueur that has been flavored with sloes. Sloe gin typically has an alcohol content of 15-30% vol. and is traditionally produced by infusing London dry gin or dry gin with sloe berries and sugar. In Germany, sloe gin is also known as Schlehenfeuer or Schlehenlikör, whereby vodka and rum are often used instead of gin in its production. In Spain, there is also a variant of sloe gin known as pacharán, which is made on the basis of an aniseed spirit. Sloe gin can be used in many different ways in numerous cocktails and long drinks and tastes good as sloe gin & tonic, sloe gin fizz or as sloe gin royale with champagne, for example. As a sloe gin jelly, it even tastes great as a dessert! Well-known sloe gin brands include Boudier, Plymouth, Hayman's, Foxdenton and The Bitter Truth.
