DISTILLERY NOTES

By adding wild sloe berries (a tiny member of the plum family) to our classic gin, we’ve brought an old English tradition to Canada. The result is a full-strength spirit that’s tart but with a delicious richness and depth of flavour backed by a subtle berry sweetness.

A bounty of flavours dominated by dried fruits, black liquorice, candied orange, sugar plums, and lavender. Balanced by traditional gin botanicals of juniper and coriander, fresh spruce tips and white pepper.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

I’ve tasted so much stuff that Devine Distillery don’t make anymore and have forgotten to taste some stuff they do make. The Sloe Gin is herbaceous, berry medicinal with complex and complimenting botanicals. If you use this in a Sloe Gin Fizz, watch your sweetness and this is dry, full on sloe berry boldness.

Alcohol - 42% / 84 proof

Color - Light red with pink edges

Nose - Medicinal and complex berry on the nose

Taste - Big mouthfeel, complex and bright botanicals from the gin compliment the tart, fruity sweet berry.

Finish - Long herbal notes with the sloe berry rounding it all out

Best Enjoyed - Sloe Gin Fizz
