Not had it myself, but heard great things. Seems a great price.

Seems pricey to me for what's effectively a gin/mixer

Sloe Gin is usually more expensive.
I made some myself last year. 1 Litre of Gin, 500grams of sloe berries which come from the Blackthorn bush ( September time) and 250grams of sugar.
**** the sloes to release the juice and place into litre of gin with the sugar, shake every day for a few minutes for the first week then once a week for next few months. Total 2-3 months left in a dark place.
It was so nice, the bottle only lasted 2 days.

This is currently £12 on ocado and £14 at Asda so cheaper when taking into account the delivery costs. Sainsburys also selling for £15 so the same as the Amazon price with delivery.

Make your own !
It really could not be simpler ?
the sloes are free sugar is dead cheap
as are vodka/gin it only takes a very small amount of organisation

And if you fancy sloe gin right now / sometime BEFORE the next Autumnal crop of sloes are ripe on the hedgerows?
Exactly.

Well tough you should have thought ahead(you may still find some anyway)
I for one will be buying the gin now when it is cheap for next year
