A traditional Sloe gin from Hayman’s, this is made by steeping the sloes in Hayman’s gin before blending with natural sugar. Bittersweet and intense in flavour, we love it.
Hayman’s Sloe Gin is a balanced sloe gin with a prominent, gin-forward profile combined with distinct notes of sloe berries, dark plum, and subtle hints of spice and almond. It is highly versatile and well-regarded for its ability to be enjoyed neat or in cocktails, thanks to its well-balanced sweetness, tartness, and a fruity finish. Some reviewers mention it can be sweet, and is best when mixed, but overall it is considered a great sloe gin for its rich flavor and versatility.
