Patient Wolf Blackthorn Gin 500ml (ABV 37%)

Early Scottish settlers planted the Blackthorn bush, also known as Sloe, around northern Tasmania to create field boundaries and to bring a sense of home. Fresh sloe berries are handpicked once per year and then to be steeped in Patient Wolf's Melbourne Dry Gin for five months, before lightly sweetening and releasing at 35%. Low sugar, big flavour, high ABV. This is how sloe gin should taste. Limited release 500ml bottles.

Bright grapefruit and berries are evident on the nose, leading to a palate packed full of sloe with a light touch of spice, before moving to herbaceous green juniper notes. There's a slight floral underdone and straight back to sloe berries. Excellent palate length.
