That Boutique-Y Gin Company Double-Sloe Gin - Whittaker's Gin

Gin description

Sloe, but more so. The folks over at Whittaker's Gin in Harrogate created Double-Sloe Gin by combining macerated-sloe gin and distilled-sloe gin, then lightly sweetened with liquorice root. The result takes sloe gin in a new direction, and it's ace. The label features two local landmarks - the Ripon Cathedral and Betty's Tearoom, as well as a rather ghostly hare, staring straight into your soul. Soft nose, but with plenty going on: fleks of cherry blossom, almond and vanilla blossom before the nose settles into plump, but dry sloe and pine. Slightly nutty and oily taste to start with deep, rich and crisp pine notes - fresh and invigorating. Notes of sloe berry follow: tart, but with a ribbon of sweet vanilla and cherry running through it. A cherry stones and vanilla finish, with a lingering zip of tart berries and pine needles.
