Sloe gin & gin liqueur

Gin, which is actually a liqueur and is becoming increasingly popular.

Alongside New Western Dry, Sloe Gin is the biggest newcomer of the last two to three years. In addition to their standard gin, many producers have launched a sloe gin on the market in recent years. Sloe gins are enjoying growing popularity among fans, although sloe gin is not really gin, but rather a liqueur - known in German as Schlehenlikör.

Sloe gin is made or macerated with sloes. According to EU regulations, it must contain at least 25% alcohol by volume and 100 grams of sugar per liter. Due to the sloe used, it is very fruity and often quite sweet. However, there are also many variations. Some sloe gins are far more tart than sweet or fruity.
