What makes Chase Sloe Gin worth trying?
Sloe gin is one of Britain's great hedgerow drinks: gin softened and deepened by sloe berries, giving dark fruit, gentle sweetness and a warming finish. It bridges summer drinking and autumn evenings neatly.
Why we picked it
September sits between seasons. Chase Sloe Gin gives us something that still works with bubbles, but starts to bring richer berry notes for cooler nights.
What to taste for
Dark berry fruit, jammy depth, soft almond-like sweetness and a gentle warming finish.
Best first serve
Neat over ice if you want the fruit to lead, with tonic for a longer drink, or topped with Prosecco for a sparkling berry serve.
Bar team tip: Sloe gin changes a lot with the serve. Over ice it feels rich; with tonic it becomes sharper; with bubbles it turns into a celebration drink.

Useful words
Sloe berry
The small dark fruit of the blackthorn bush. It gives sloe gin its deep berry flavour.
Maceration
The process of steeping fruit in alcohol so colour, aroma and flavour move into the spirit.
Aperitif
A drink served before food to wake up the palate. A lighter sloe gin serve can work this way.
