Generous quantities of hand-picked hedgerow sloes, combined with just the right amount of sugar, are added to our strikingly smooth London Dry Gin. Then it’s all left to soak slowly for at least six months – that’s more than twice as long as most other distillers. The high ‘sloe to gin’ ratio combined with this lengthy maturation process achieves a smooth, intensely rich and fruity flavour that retains some of that just-picked tartness.

TASTING NOTES

Rich, sweet fruit aromas of plum with flavours of Kirsch cherry and a hint of subtle spice. Warm and refreshing, 6 O’clock Gin Sloe is less intensely sweet than many other sloe gins, with a perfect balance between sweet fruit and the bitterness of sloes.

How to Drink: Enjoy with a bite of creamy blue cheese, or just top up the hip flask and hit the countryside for a walk.
