Plymouth Sloe Gin
Sloe Gin Liqueur | 26% ABV | 750 mL | England | Made with Sloe Berries, Plymouth Gin, Dartmoor Water, and Sugar
Process & Profile
Plymouth Sloe Gin is a classic English sloe gin liqueur made by steeping sloe berries in Plymouth Gin with soft Dartmoor water and a small amount of sugar. The result is a richly colored, fruit-forward bottle that sits between gin and liqueur in style, offering more depth, sweetness, and berry character than a standard dry gin while still keeping a gentle botanical backbone. For those looking for a traditional sloe gin with a more natural fruit profile and a recognizable historic name, Plymouth Sloe Gin remains one of the category’s benchmark bottles.
What makes Plymouth Sloe Gin especially appealing is its balance. The sugar is kept relatively restrained so the tart, dry side of the fruit still shows through, rather than turning the bottle into a one-note sweet liqueur. That gives it a smoother, fuller profile that works well for sipping, desserts, and cocktails. For those looking for a berry-rich gin liqueur, a traditional English sloe gin, or a bottle for a Sloe Gin Fizz, this is a strong fit with broad appeal.
