In the 1970s, John Rutte creation Sloe Berry liqueur, made of gin and fresh berries picked by hand in the Biesbosch, a nature park, near our Dordrecht distillery. Rutte Sloe Gin consists of a blend of sloe berries steeped in gin, sloe berry distillate and a touch of traditional malt wine and herbs. The end result is a well-balanced sloe gin with a full, fruity palate.
Botanicals: sloe berry, juniper, galangal, orange blossom, gentian, vanilla
