Why It’s On Our Shelves
Rich, fruity & wonderfully smooth
Produced in Norfolk by WhataHoot →
Rich, fruity and unmistakably Norfolk, WhataHoot Sloe Gin is made using handpicked Norfolk sloes to create a beautifully smooth spirit with deep fruit flavours and a distinctive local character.
At 30% ABV, it's stronger than many traditional sloe gins, giving it a little more structure and spirit character alongside the natural sweetness and rich, fruity flavour of the sloes.
Made by WhataHoot in King’s Lynn, this is a wonderfully versatile bottle to have on hand. Enjoy it slowly on its own, serve over ice, lengthen with a mixer, or add rich hedgerow fruit flavours to cocktails.
It's particularly suited to autumn and winter drinking, but there's absolutely no reason to restrict a good sloe gin to the colder months.
As WhataHoot puts it: Dabble, Tinker & Enjoy.
