Like most folks I’d imagine , I’ve been having a clear out, i have  found a few bottles of sloe gin I made back in 2009, they look ok, some sediment on the bottom though , would these still be drinkable or not?

is it worth trying to filter the sediment out ?

 

ive also found two bottles of sloe whisky! I vaguely remember using up some cheap whisky to do this as it was unpalatable to drink (Christmas presents from distant relatives 😭)

Many fruit stones contain amygdalin and other cyanohydrins and are broken down into cyanide among a few other chemicals/substances. The good news is that they are in very, very small amounts. I would say if you have not got kidney or liver disease then crack on, just as long as you do not Quaff the whole bottle in one and drink in a sensible amount 🤮

Strain it, It will be most agreeable I am sure?

I found some sloe gin complete with all the fruit that was 5 or 6 years old. The taint from the stones was pretty horrible and I threw it away.
