Tasting Notes

Nose

Clear juniper underpinned by gentle floral, herbal and fruit tones — hedgerow aromatics

Palate

Juniper dry followed by floral and fruit — apple and elderflower with the hedgerow botanicals adding Yorkshire character

Finish

Dry but with delightfully light fruity smoothness — the meadow hay adding a distinctive green note

First Impressions

Sloemotion Hedgerow Dry Gin was born from the principle that what grows together goes together — the distillery went to their local North Yorkshire hedgerows for inspiration. Six foraged botanicals — crab apple, rosehip, elderflower, nettle leaf, wildflower meadow hay — join classic gin ingredients.

Tasting

The nose shows clear juniper with gentle floral, herbal and fruit tones. On the palate, juniper dry with floral and fruit — apple and elderflower with hedgerow character. The finish is dry with light fruity smoothness and a distinctive meadow hay green note.

The Bottom Line

Sloemotion Hedgerow earns a 7 for Yorkshire terroir in gin form. The what-grows-together-goes-together philosophy creates a gin that genuinely tastes of its place, and the meadow hay is a distinctive touch. From Malton, Yorkshire's food capital.
