Definitely has the feel of a sort of spiced punch, autumnal and cozy. On the nose there is that plummy aroma with "dark" spices like cinnamon and cloves. The taste is quite tart but then the sweetness catches up with it. Overall it's very tasty. I can enjoy it neat on a cold night or with ice on a warm night. This is only the second sloe gin I've tried and the previous one (Spirit Works) was more than a year ago so it's hard for me to compare them. The overall flavor profile is definitely similar though. At $40 this is a bit steep, but I could see myself getting it again. It definitely fills a niche for me. I'll have to try some other sloe gins too.
