Breil Pur - Sloe Gin | Swiss Gin

This Sloe Gin is from Breil Pur. It is flavored with wild blackthorn and sugar - hence actually a gin liqueur that was widespread in England in the 18th and 19th centuries. Incidentally, the internationally award-winning Breil Pur Sloe Gin is the first Sloe Gin in Switzerland.

The Rhaeto-Romanic Swiss mountain village of Breil / Brigels is located at over 1,200 meters and inspired Beat Sidler and Gustav Inglin, the two founders of Breil Pur SA, to produce one purely organic gins. Together with Dr. David Clutton (England), one of the world's most renowned gin experts, they then developed the top-secret recipe.

This much is known, however: The Breil Pur gins are made in the Destillaria Candinas in Surrein, as we look back on an almost 200 year old distillery tradition. The gin consists of high-quality organic wheat and natural spring water from the Graubünden mountains. In addition, there are selected, hand-picked organic botanicals from Switzerland: Alpine juniper, Alpine roses and chocolate mint form the core element, but the other botanicals used are top secret. The Sloe Gin Edition is also flavored and sweetened with sloe - the sloe is picked by hand in the mountains and macerates in gin for several months.
