1000 PIERS SLOE GIN

1000 Piers Sloe Gin: The Hedgerow’s Hidden Jewel
Discover a spirit that balances tradition with a bold, multi-dimensional fruit profile. 1000 Piers Sloe Gin is a uniquely decadent cordial, meticulously crafted to transform the tart mystery of the sloe berry into a rich, luxurious masterpiece. This is a spirit of patience and precision, designed for those who seek a deeper, more complex fruit experience.
At the heart of this gin is the Sloe Berry—the "crab apple" of the plum family. Harvested from the rugged Blackthorn trees found in the historic hedgerows of the UK, these berries are small, hard, and intensely tart. However, through our infusion process, we unlock a hidden world of deep, plummy sweetness that only reveals itself in the presence of expert craft.
While traditional sloe gins stop at the berry, we push the boundaries of flavor by introducing a proprietary blend of secondary fruits:
-
The Sloe Base: Provides the foundational "wild plum" character and a sophisticated tannic structure.
-
Elderberry Elevation: Adds an extraordinary layer of complexity, bringing forward sophisticated notes of dark fig and velvety chocolate.
-
Blueberry Brilliance: Rounds out the palate with a bright, jammy sweetness that softens the tartness of the sloe.
1000 Piers Sloe Gin is a chameleonic spirit, as comfortable at the end of a meal as it is in a shaker: Sipped neat or over a single large cube of ice, it acts as a rich, fruity cordial, offering a soothing and opulent conclusion to any dinner.
The Mixologist’s Secret Weapon
With its perfect balance of sugar, acid, and fruit, this gin shares many characteristics with a premium sweet vermouth. It serves as a superior, more complex alternative to Chambord or Crème de Mûre, adding a botanical "backbone" to cocktails that standard liqueurs simply cannot provide.
"A deep, plummy treasure unlocked by craft. It’s not just a sloe gin—it’s a dark fruit symphony."

Tasting Notes
Nose The aromatic profile is defined by intense, sweet dark fruit, reminiscent of sun-ripened black cherries and plums. This rich fruitiness is elegantly framed by subtle, warming undertones of cinnamon and cardamom, adding a sophisticated spiced edge to the deep berry sweetness.
Palate On the palate, 1000 Piers Sloe Gin delivers an exceptionally smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. The journey begins with an immediate burst of jammy plum flavors—the signature of the wild sloe berry—which quickly evolves into a complex tapestry of dried fruits. Notes of sticky fig and sun-dried raisins provide a concentrated, honeyed depth that coats the tongue.
Finish The finish is nothing short of decadent. It lingers with a velvety persistence, dominated by the resonant flavors of rich dark fruit. As the sweetness settles, a final, surprising note of bittersweet chocolate emerges, providing a lush and balanced conclusion to this opulent spirit.
