description Gordon's Sloe Gin Overview
Gordon's Sloe Gin is a sloe-based liqueur in the Gordon's gin range. The producer says that wild sloe berries are gently steeped before Gordon's gin is added, producing a drink that combines the dry gin character with sweet, cassis-like fruit notes; the UK product page lists it at 26% ABV. Gordon's traces its brand history to Alexander Gordon's London distillery, established in 1769. The sloe product is used on its own, with tonic, or in cocktails, and is distinct from Gordon's unflavored London Dry Gin because the infusion adds sweetness and fruit character.
