Frederiksberg Sloe Gin is made from a base of Frederiksberg London Dry Gin and sloe berries from our local surroudnings, picked in the autumn when they are ripe and before frost and birds get to them. The sloe berries are soaked in the gin for 3-4 months at our destillery in Kirke Såby and only a bit of sugar is added before bottling.
Sloe gin is not a gin but a liqueur. Gin is defined by EU laws as a clear spirit at minimum 37,5% ABV and the predominant flavour must be juniper. Sloe Gin is in general at a strength at 30% ABV, the sugar content of around 10% and the predominent flavor comes from the sloe berries.
