The product is inspired by the berries that grow locally in the surrounding landscape. In addition to the sloe berries, hawthorn is also used, giving Hepple Sloe & Hawthorn a drier profile compared to many other sloe gins. During production, the classic gin is infused with the berries for six months, allowing the full, rich aromas to develop and be captured in the final product. This extended maceration creates a complex and refined spirit, where the delicate tartness of the sloe berries is beautifully balanced with the slightly earthy, floral notes of hawthorn. The result is a gin that offers a sophisticated depth of flavor, perfect for sipping neat or mixing into a variety of cocktails.
