Hellfire Bluff Distillery Sloe Gin 700ml

At Hellfire Bluff Distillery, we take pride in crafting exquisite spirits that capture the essence of Tasmania’s rich natural heritage. Our Sloe Gin, made from handpicked sloe berries foraged from the autumnal blackthorn tree, embodies the spirit of Tasmania’s wild beauty and bountiful flora. Let’s delve into the journey of our Sloe Gin, from the wild landscapes of Tasmania to the prestigious accolades it has garnered.

Handcrafted Elegance

Our Sloe Gin is meticulously handcrafted, reflecting our commitment to quality and authenticity. Every step of the process, from the foraging of sloe berries to the final bottling, is undertaken with precision and care.

Foraging Tasmania’s Bounty

The sloe berries used in our gin are sourced directly from the abundant wilderness of Tasmania. Foraged during the autumn season, these berries offer a burst of natural sweetness and flavour that is unmatched.

Autumnal Splendour

The blackthorn tree, where these sloe berries flourish, adds a touch of autumnal charm to our gin. The seasonal change brings out the best in these berries, infusing our Sloe Gin with the essence of the Tasmanian autumn.

Maceration Magic

To extract the full spectrum of flavours and colours, the handpicked sloe berries undergo a meticulous maceration process. This technique enhances the intensity of the gin, giving it a deep and captivating colour.

Captivating Flavours

The result of our craftsmanship is a Sloe Gin bursting with ripe flavours that dance on the palate. The sweetness of the sloe berries is balanced by hints of citrus and a subtle spice, creating a harmonious and delightful drinking experience.

Best Enjoyed Chilled

For the ultimate sensory experience, our Sloe Gin is best served chilled. Whether sipped neat over ice or mixed with soda and prosecco in a Sloe Gin Spritzer, every sip is a journey through Tasmania’s pristine landscapes.

Award-Winning Excellence

The quality and excellence of our Sloe Gin have been recognised by esteemed institutions. We are proud recipients of the Gold Medal at the Australian Gin Awards, 2021, a testament to our dedication to crafting exceptional spirits.

Embracing Tradition with Innovation
