The palate of Sipsmith Sloe Gin 2013 absolutely bursts forward with jammy and fruity notes. This is where it really distinguishes itself among sloe gins. Cherry and sloe notes early.

The berries are balanced just enough that warm hints of stewed citrus zests, piney juniper and apple pie spice shine through. It all comes together as if mixed into a sloe pie, bursting from the oven at a family autumnal holiday.
