Rooted in over 150 years of family distilling tradition, Hayman’s Sloe Gin is a true English classic. Crafted using wild-harvested sloe berries infused in Haymans London Dry Gin, this richly flavored liqueur balances the tart, tannic essence of sloes with subtle juniper warmth. At 52 proof, its lower in alcohol than standard gins but full of bold, berry-forward character.

Produced just outside London, Haymans Sloe Gin honors a time-honored British recipe that dates back generations. The infusion process takes several months, allowing the natural fruit flavors to fully develop, creating a deep ruby spirit with layered sweetness and spice.
