Sloe gin is a traditional sweet liqueur popular especially in England made using the fruit of the Blackthorn tree, sugar and gin.

Sloe berries can be found all over Europe and give the essential taste to this lovely fruit gin. Althrough most sloe gins tend to be sticky sweet, The Bitter Truth Sloe Gin is dry and shows the character of a gin merged with tart, fruity berry flavors.
The Bitter Truth Sloe Gin is solely made with real sloe berries macerating for months in copper pot still destilled dry gin and is then finally balanced with sugar to sooth out the tart and sour aromas of the sloe berry.
No coloring or additives are used for an all natural experience of a real sloe gin.
