Haymans of London Sloe Gin 70cl

Let’s explore the tasting notes for Hayman’s Sloe Gin. 

Appearance: Clear, crimson red.

Aroma: Bright sloe berry with underlying gin and faint almond.

Taste: Delicately balanced tart sloe berry notes and sweetness.  Gin notes rise through the fruit and develop towards the finish.

Hayman’s Sloe Gin has a reddish-brown, burgundy color reminiscent of fortified red wine. The nose offers ripe berries, strawberry, and orange, with sweetened citrus and spice hints. On the palate, you’ll find plum, grilled cherries, and ruby red grapefruit, with a touch of nutmeg and sugar. The finish is tart but quasi-dry, with lingering medicinal sweetness.

While enjoyable neat, it truly shines in cocktails, where its bright, sweet fruit flavors come alive.
Cocktail Ideas:
Iced with Lime: Cherry, tart, bright, with sweet lime and pronounced ginger and allspice notes.
Blackthorn: Bright sour sloe with a bitter, earthy lift in the middle.
Sloe Gin Fizz: Refreshing, sweet, and easy to drink, with lemon, sugared cherries, and peach flavors.

Remember, Hayman’s Sloe Gin is a versatile spirit that pairs well with various mixers. Whether you’re sipping it neat or mixing up creative cocktails, enjoy the delightful flavors! Cheers!
