That bottle?.....since August. I staggered them this year
Cunning. I'm waiting for Xmas for the damson gin and that's a month ahead of the sloe I can't see me lasting that long

Great! Let's have some tasting notes from everyone. I'm really curious to find out how the different recipes turn out as there's some doubt as to whether our will be too sweet or not. We used Pam the Jam's quantities for most of it.
We're waiting until Christmas Eve to crack ours open!
The shot glass was replaced with a Tumbler it is bloody lovely.We're waiting until Christmas Eve to crack ours open!
not too sweet at all, I'd say it is perfect
I will be filling two 8oz hip flasks with it tomorrow as I'm working on my local shoot....I'll let you know what the Gamekeepers think of it.

Nom
where are the Sloes? Flavour is perfect, and it wont last beyond the end of the month.
Have previously tried with and without sloes and no one can taste a difference, so they go. You get far more in a bottle now.
bloody townies

What ratio of sloes/gin/sugar did you use?not too sweet at all, I'd say it is perfect

weigh the empty bottle then half fill it with pricked Sloes and weigh it again, then add that same weight of sugar...then brim with Gin.
Hmmmmm... interesting way to measure it. No idea how that equates to ours!We're going to make sloe brandy once we've bottled the sloe vodka/gin.
Bottled some of the damson and a half bottle of sloe the other day. The sloe is pretty good, not too sweet and minimal bite to it. One damson had more sugar and is too syrupy IMO, although SWMBO likes it, but I'll blend it with the less sweet to take the cherryade edge off it
All in all they're dangerously drinkable
