Plymouth
Sloe Gin

Category: Fruit Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: United Kingdom
Alcohol: 26%
Bright reddish mahogany color. Fruity aromas and flavors of milk chocolate cherry bon bons, dark berry preserves, spicy pomegranate chutney, and pineapple upside down and banana nut muffin with a glycerous, vibrant, off-dry medium-to-full body and an elegant, medium-long finish that presents suggestions of choke cherry jam on raisin rye toast, wet cedar, molasses licorice cookie, and mint herbal tea finish. A pure, fruity, lightly herbal sloe gin that will mix brilliantly.

About
Fruit Liqueur
Fruit liqueurs are produced by two main methods, either purely with fruit juices or sometimes with fruit that has been steeped in alcohol. Numerous fruits are used in the production of fruit liqueurs, such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cassis and blackberry. Alcoholic content ranges from 15% to 30%.

These types of fruit liqueurs are produced throughout Europe, from France and Italy to Germany and Denmark. There are also some produced from the Caribbean, namely coconut liqueur.

While many of these fruit liqueurs are medium-sweet or even sweeter, there are some that are quite dry with a light bitterness. Most are meant for consumption on their own, sometimes before a meal, sometimes after.

This is an extremely popular category the world round, as many fruit liqueurs serve as the base of numerous cocktails.
