Tasting Notes
Nose
Fabulously fruity and spicy — thick and inviting with rich jam-like character
Palate
Delightfully thick mouthfeel — rich jam-like tartness, elderberries and blaeberries coming through, full-bodied fruit with warming spice and muscovado sweetness
Finish
Warming spice and sweetness lingering — the muscovado adding depth that white sugar cannot achieve
Expert Review
7/10Sloe berries sweetened with muscovado sugar alongside blaeberries and elderberries — thick, dark, jammy yet smooth and rich. From Scotland's most northerly mainland distillery. The best sloe gin some have tasted.
