Tasting Notes

Nose

Floral violet followed by rich blackberry jam — bright and inviting

Palate

Sweet softly tangy blackberry with familiar juniper heart — refreshing and crisp with beautifully sweet finish and rounded mouthfeel from Harrogate spring water

Finish

Sweet blackberry with gentle juniper warmth — refreshing and sippable

First Impressions

Slingsby Blackberry infuses Yorkshire blackberries into their award-winning 24-botanical London Dry base with Harrogate aquifer water. Violet florals give way to rich blackberry jam.

Tasting

The nose shows violet then blackberry jam. On the palate, sweet tangy blackberry with juniper — refreshing with sweet finish. Sippable.

The Bottom Line

Slingsby Blackberry earns a 7 for fruit gin from a 100+ award distillery. The violet-blackberry combination adds floral elegance. Best with Mediterranean tonic and fresh blackberries.
