Mother’s Ruin, Walthamstow, East London, England, UK. |
After producing liqueurs for years at home
for family and friends, Cumbrian born (but now living in the East End of London)
Becky Griffiths decided to try her own commercial venture. The business was
established in Summer 2012 with products available online. She also has a small
retail outlet called “Mother’s Ruin East London Gin Palace” at Wood Street Indoor
Market (an old cinema building) in Walthamstow, East London. The fruit used is handpicked from her East London garden/allotment, from the family orchard in Cumbria or foraged from the surrounding wilds in these two areas of England. |
Wild sloeberries are picked from the
hedgerows in the counties of Essex (East of London) and Cumbria (North West
England). The fruit is steeped in an undisclosed Gin for the good part of a
year. The Gin is presented in a small emerald green cylindrical bottle with flat shoulders. The large light brown label has very simple black text with a sketch of a sprig of sloeberries and the Latin name “Prunus Spinosa” clearly visible. |
Flavored Gin - Sloeberry. |
25% (50 Proof). |
$$$$$$ - $$$$$$$. Not available in the USA and we have been
unable to find a suitable supplier to ship to the USA. In the meantime
this is available for shipping within the UK from their website. |

sloeberries. |
Mother’s Ruin is a slang term for Gin in
England; it arose during the Gin Craze in the late 1600’s to the mid
1700’s
when Gin was so popular and was having a negative impact on society. The
Gin is named after this slang term and the key flavored botanical. |
Unfortunately we have not tasted this yet,
so are unable to provide any details. |
Unknown. |
