Food & Drink
Drinks: Bring out some Leicestershire Spirit The county of Leicestershire has a lot going for it. Amongst the many attractions, that residents, locals and visitors enjoy, are numerous wonderful delights of cuisines and beverages. The county is renowned for producing food and drinks, a good number of which are award-winning. For this quest I searched for a wellestablished company that produces alcoholic beverages, covering a good range of flavours, with outstanding qualities, including aromas, tastes and presentations.
Sloeberry Spirits Ltd produces very impressive liqueurs. Bordering Leicestershire and Rutland, Sloeberry Spirits Ltd utilises the finest spirits to great advantage and, together with the additions of various fruits, creates finished products that are most excellent, having many ‘devotees’ to their brand. Following several months of natural infusion, this traditional method of production has the spirits and fruit flavours combining, producing liqueurs to an exceptional standard. A good amount of fruit is picked by hand. SLOE GIN (25% vol) is superb, with excellent flavour. If GIN & RASPBERRY (25% vol) is a favourite, then the production by Sloeberry Spirits Ltd will certainly not disappoint. Again, a good alcoholic content and with the flavour of raspberries coming through, perfectly. If vodka is preferred, then VODKA & BLACKBERRY (25% vol) has that ‘dark fruit effect’, which is most pleasing, from first sight, through mouthfeel and palate sensation, to the finish. Other vodka presentations include VODKA & STRAWBERRY and VODKA & BLACKCURRANT. WHISKY & WILD DAMSON (25% vol) is (in my opinion) another superb production. Very popular with whisky lovers, this, again, has a great combination of alcoholic content and, with the wild damsons infused, makes for a splendid liqueur. These are just a selection from the full range of liqueurs offered by Sloeberry Spirits Ltd. The liqueurs are available to order online and can also be located at numerous events, attended by the company, throughout the year, too. The website has all details, plus stockists, etc. Additionally, worthwhile noting, are the current offers, such as free delivery on qualifying purchases. Orders are processed and dispatched quickly and efficiently. Gift sets are available, too – Now, there’s a thought!
