Conrad Sloe Gin – A Modern Classic with Century-Deep Roots

Conrad Sloe Gin is where heritage, craftsmanship, and contemporary finesse meet. Inspired by the centuries-old British tradition of steeping frost-kissed sloe berries in gin, our expression elevates this ritual into a premium, modern Australian spirit. Rooted in the ancient blackthorn hedgerows that shaped the earliest sloe gins and refined through award-winning innovation, Conrad Sloe Gin captures both history and high style in a single glass.

Recognised on the world stage with a remarkable 94-point score at the London Spirits Competition, Conrad Sloe Gin stands apart for its balance, depth, and distinctive character. Judges praised its clean appearance, refined flavour profile, and smooth, creamy finish — qualities that reflect our commitment to meticulous distillation, sustainable production, and grape-spirit craftsmanship.

This is a sloe gin crafted with purpose: expressive, elegant, and ready to shine in cocktails, pairings, or as a sophisticated sip all on its own.

Taste

Conrad Sloe Gin delivers a layered, complex flavour profile that unfolds with intention. Expect bright berry notes from the hand-selected sloe maceration, supported by subtle honey, toffee, and gentle Christmas-spice warmth — clove, cinnamon, and a whisper of almond from the stones. The palate is medium-bodied, refined, and beautifully balanced between sweet, tart, and herbaceous elements. A soft creaminess rounds the finish, leaving lingering depth that invites the next sip.

Aroma

The nose is elegant and inviting: ripe dark berries lead with tart vibrancy, followed by delicate notes of chamomile, warm spice, and soft botanicals that nod to traditional distilling. Hints of honey and toffee add a surprising richness, creating an aromatic profile that feels both nostalgic and luxuriously modern.

How to Enjoy

Conrad Sloe Gin’s versatility makes it an exceptional companion for cocktails, food pairings, and relaxed sipping moments.

Serve it neat or over ice to experience its full depth — a simple way to appreciate the sweet-tart interplay at the heart of sloe gin. Pair it with premium tonic for a refreshing twist, or mix it into classics like a Sloe Gin Fizz or Sloe Negroni to elevate any occasion.

For food pairings, Conrad Sloe Gin complements rich cheeses, game meats, dark chocolate, berry-based desserts, cured meats, smoked salmon, and roasted nuts. Its balance of acidity and sweetness cuts through richness while enhancing flavour, making it a natural fit for grazing boards, dinner parties, and refined snacking.

Whether you’re elevating a long lunch, curating a cocktail menu, or seeking a spirit with both story and sophistication, Conrad Sloe Gin brings a signature sense of chic to every pour.
