Incorporating a selection of botanicals designed specifically to augment the rich flavour of the fruit, the sloes were left to marinade for an initial period of eight months. elicious, but rarely seen, mulberries were sourced; adding the fruit for a final two months before decanting & bottling. Nose: Deep, rich waves of sloe berry with coy sweet ripples of rosehip, followed by lightly acidic notes of blackcurrant & redcurrant. Palate: The mouth feel is delightful & sticky, almost medicinal in the cold winter months. Not overly sweet with a clean tartness around the edges. Big sloe berry notes on entry, complicated & lightly fiery on the mid palate. Finish: Lightly dried & astringent with an aftertaste of figs, chopped dates, prune & redcurrant jelly. Gloriously warming! Recommended Serve: Ideal as a winter warmer, serve at room temperature with a cinnamon stick wrapped in flamed orange zest, or with a slice of fresh orange. ...
