Wessex English Sloe Gin (Mini) 5cl
A delicious sweet, fruity Sloe gin from the family run Wessex Distillery
Description
Wessex English Sloe Gin
Wessex was an anglo-saxon kingdom, which located in modern day southern england. Today, one of the current UK counties (Surrey) is located in this ancient kingdom. This is where the Wessex Distillery name comes from.
A family owned craft distillery, Wessex use premium ingredients. Where possible they source these from the English countryside, and distill in their copper still. They distill with a simple belief: "We believe the best English gin is made when passionate gin lovers take a no fuss approach, and quality ingredients".
To create their Sloe Gin, Wessex use only sloe berries sourced from the English countryside. They steep (soak) these with natural sugar, and their gin for over six months to impart all of their rich fruity tart juices.
This combination, and the time Wessex take to make this ensures an extremely smooth sloe gin, with a stunning royal red complexion. The resulting flavour is worth the wait with subtle hints of almond.
Good to know: As this is a natural product, which uses real sloes - sediment can be found in the bottle and is perfectly harmless. Just ensure you shake the bottle before pouring.

Perfect Serve
Perfect served on its own, with a squeeze of lemon juice, and a slice of lemon to garnish.
However, it can also be enjoyed with a mix of tonic water or ginger ale, we like Lobsters for this. Take a tall glass with some ice and add 50ml of the Sloe Gin. Gently pour over 100ml of your chosen mixer. Stir well, and garnish with a slice of lemon.
