Reisetbauer Sloeberry Sloe Gin

Detailed Description

Their flavorful sloe gin, which is essentially their classic Blue Gin, diluted with the juice of organic Hungarian sloe berries (which is part of the rose family and has a very high vitamin C content). This traditional combination is a historical UK favorite, and in this Reisetbauer rendition, the Sloeberry highlights the natural flavors and sweetness of the botanicals of their more traditional gin. A simplicity that allows the individual flavor components to shine.

Distillery Information

In 1994, on his family farm in Axberg Austria, a man named Hans Reisetbauer was hard at work achieving his vision; the art of distilling. From the planting of his first orchards, Hans displayed the most meticulous care for his harvest, which in turn yielded high-quality fruits to distill his eau-de-vies. Han’s Austrian farm is home to 13,000 pear trees, as well as 7,000 apple trees. All of these fruits are harvested by hand, which is impressive considering its scale. The fruits are also grown sustainably and organically.
