Tasting Notes

Dismiss any preconceived notions you may have about sloe gin—this elegant expression is nothing like the cloying versions you may have experienced in yesteryears. Organic sloe berries are gently pressed and macerated for six weeks in Reisetbauer Blue Gin, an award-winning London Dry style gin triple-distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still from estate-grown Mulan wheat. Reisetbauer Sloeberry Sloe Gin is made with 28 botanicals in total sourced from 14 countries and proofed down with fresh sloeberry juice. While most sloe gins contain an average of 100 g/l of added sugar, Reisetbauer Sloe Gin relies purely on the natural sugars within the organic sloe berries and clocks in at a bone-dry 6 g/l of sugar as a result. The natural tannins of the berry come to the fore, complemented by flavors of coriander, lemon zest, and mint. This lively spirit pairs perfectly with tonic or ginger beer, and functions distinctly as a cocktailing component. 28% ABV.
