Sloe Gin Time

This post is from our 2022 release — for the current vintage, see Sloe Gin.

Our famous Sloe Gin is nearly here again, going live on our website at 4pm Wednesday 12th October, and available from our distillery from Thursday 13th October.

Our 2021 vintage sold out in 3 days, and we don't have a pre-order system, so it might pay to set an alarm.

What makes this gin so good?

To make an outstanding gin, every part of the process must be perfect.

For our base gin, we use our gold-medal-winning Dry Gin. The depth of flavour in this gin makes it great for soaking sloe berries in.

We grow our sloes ourselves, so we can make sure they're picked at peak ripeness. From there the sloes are quickly frozen, then put into our Dry Gin, so the subtle flavours are retained rather than lost to months of storage or transit.

After the sloe berries have soaked in the Dry Gin for a generous 4 months, we blend in just enough sugar syrup to get the balance of rich plum, almond and gin flavours just right.

This gin is seasonal, based on when our trees fruit, so it's only available once every 12 months.

Can we get this from bottle stores?

If you're lucky. While our sloe trees are still becoming established and getting their roots down, we don't have a large supply. For this reason our stockists can purchase a maximum of 3 bottles each.

Last year this gin sold out in 3 days, so your best chance is to buy online and have it delivered, or set aside using the click and collect option at checkout.
