How do you tell if sloe gin goes bad?

Sloe Gin, like most alcohol products, don't really go "bad" as the alcohol kills the bacteria that could cause "badness". However, the taste will change over time as the solution oxidises, this is what happens to wine and why you tend not to drink wine that has been open for a long time; it's not bad it just doesn't taste as good. Sloe Gin tends to have more alcohol and sugar than wine so the "sloe gin" taste will last longer. We tend to find that after about 6 months after opening the taste gets a little "woody" and a bit like sherry. I sell sloe gin for a living and I often hear people tell me that they have bottles that have been on the go for anything up to 10 years and still taste ok. At this point they'll also generally say that "it's really strong in alcohol", which unfortunately is not true, the longer you leave the sloe gin, especially if the sloes are still in, the lower the alcohol gets; you are "compounding" not "fermenting"!

What is the alcohol content of sloe gin?

Sloe Gin is still a popular drink, especially amongst the festival community. To make it you will need1lb/454gm of washed sloes (these are best picked by hand in October/ November after the first frosts, from Blackthorn hedgerows)75cl bottle of medium gin4 ozs/112gm of sugarSterilised 1 litre (or more depending on how much you want!) Le Parfait jar or wide necked bottle2-3 drops of almond essenceFor extra flavour you can also add a few cloves and a stick of Cinnamon.Now the fun part! Cut the sloes and drop half into the bottle with the Gin. Top up until the Gin reaches the top of the jar. Add the sugar and almond essence, cover, and store in a cool dark place. Voila, you're done! Now all you have to do is turn the bottle daily for one week, and then weekly for one or two months.After this time it will technically be ready to drink, but the best flavour comes from leaving it until the next winter.Enjoy :)
