That Gin made of Blackthorn or Sloe berries is an acquired taste indeed! Bud after half a bottle you are more or less used to the taste and probably pass out!!!

Below: But I don’t think that there are enough berries on my Yamadori Shohin Blackthorn Prunus spinosa?! But this afternoon in the sun I was wiring some small branches on it with a coffee at hand and was thinking: I want to show this ideal scene anyway to you all!
