Wrecking Coast Honey Sloe Gin
From: Stargazey Spirits
Everyone has their own recipe for sloe gin, but this one’s pretty unique, and it’s a sweet and spicy combination of gin, sloes, spice and honey.
They start out with a specially made gin that’s packed with citrus and spicy juniper, before adding the sloes and spice, and leaving everyone to get to know each other – a process that takes at least three months.
A month before bottling, they start gradually adding sweetness, using honey to amplify the fruitiness of the sloes without hiding their tart character.
Far from your average sloe gin, with the honey and spice providing a rich and complex backbone for the sweet and sour berry notes of the sloes. Equally at home in a hipflask on a cold day or served in an icy spritz at the height of summer – whenever you need spicy and fruity berries, this Honey Sloe Gin has you covered.
| ABV: | 34.5% |
|---|---|
| Nose: | Spiced berry compote: cherries and plums with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg. Sticky red berries dominate, but they’re not quite powerful enough to hide the piney and citrusy gin or its gentle earthiness. |
| Palate: | Thick and rich with a balanced sweet and sour berry character. A spiced-honey backdrop is painted over with layers of cherries, plums, and tart berries, with hints of cherry menthol and dark chocolate developing as it sits in the glass. |
| Finish: | Sticky cherry and a hint of menthol fade to leave lingering pine. |
| Serve: | Served in an icy spritz |
