Black Shuck Gin - Sloe Gin
Norfolk's Legendary Spirit 🐺
Black Shuck Gin was created by Patrick and Sarah Saunders in North Norfolk, inspired by the legendary Black Shuck, a ghostly black dog said to roam the region. The family-run business began in 2011 with the creation of Sloe Gin, It was on Boxing Day 2011 that Patrick and Sarah together with Patrick’s father and step-mother, Malcolm and Shirley, settled down to sample each of the 15 different trials to identify the best recipe.
The brand's distinctive approach has been driven by a passion for Norfolk’s local heritage and ingredients. With the business growing, the Saunders family expanded their offerings to include a variety of spirits like rums, vodkas, and liqueurs. Black Shuck Gin has quickly become a favourite for gin lovers, capturing the essence of Norfolk in every bottle
