Hawkers Sloe Gin is the authority in the sloe gin category. William Hawker created the original recipe in the late 1790s & the family business, James Hawker & Co, were the first company to commercially produce & market a Sloe Gin. Today Hawkers Sloe is once again batch made & matured in the City of Plymouth, its orginal home, with 100% wild-picked Dartmoor Sloes, Dartmoor water & full strength premium gin. At 28% ABV Hawkers is stronger than all leading competitor brands, but this is a sloe gin with a real richness & luxuriant flavour.
