Product Information

The Sacred Distillery, based in Highgate in London, produces both excellent quality classic Gin, as well as some slightly unusual ones (Christmas Pudding Gin, anyone?). In what is our biggest gin test to date, our expert panel put sloe gin to the test. Tasting them completely blind, each sample was tested neat, and then again, diluted with a small amount of water. This was to ensure the flavour was not impaired by any mixer.

An enjoyable gin, testers liked the prominent fruity, berry flavours, describing this sloe gin as “warming and syrupy.” Light in acidity, and with a decent linger of taste and warmth. Take your pre-frozen sloes, or fresh ones that you’ve poked a bunch of holes in, and tip them into a 2 litre Kilner jar (or divide between two smaller ones). Warming and spicy, this sloe gin is pleasant with a medium-sweet taste. The sloe berry sweetness and juniper gin flavours could be more married but the overall taste was satisfying.We love sloe gin, and it's most certainly an underrated drink. Rich berry red in colour and sweet to taste, sloe gin is the perfect winter warming tipple when the weather starts to turn a little nippier.

The good thing about making your own Sloe Gin at home, is that the hard part is done for you. There’s no distillation involved. As this is a Gin-based Liqueur, start with the base. This gin reminded some of our testers of cherry bakewell, with many enjoying its fresh forest fruit qualities. The heat of the alcohol was a bit too prominent for some, however, but overall it was found to have an enjoyable, smooth texture.When it’s time to decant, use a very fine sieve over a bowl (or line a normal sieve with a muslin cloth) and pour the mixture out. Then divide it into clean, dry bottles and label. Although it’s ready to drink now, it’ll still change over time, so try not to drink it all at once! Looking for a sloe gin? Look no further as DrinkSupermarket has a range of sloe gins from names such as Monkey 47, Gordon's and Sipsmith. Add the Gin, the sugar, seal the jar, and shake well. Once a day for the next seven days, give the jar a good shake. Leave it in a cool dark place for two months. So the sloes go into the still along with the rest of the botanicals when creating the Gin, rather than infusing them afterwards.
