The Blackberries are just coming out here, been out picking some today to make a spiced blackberry chutney. I've no doubt we will be making something alcoholic out of whats around us, we have plenty to choose from. 
Me to, tried it last year, and it was better than the sloe gin. Also made some with strawberries last year, so it was the turn of blackberries this year !.

we made a sloe vodka a few years back , but we over did it with the suger, was nice but could not drink too much as too sickly after a while
I done a bottle of pinapple rum last year, was very tastey, will have to look in the cupboard and see what bottles we have that might benefit from a flavouring
Yesterday i picked 12 kg of blackberries for wine , i already picked 2 kg for blackberrywhiskey. The sweet scent off ripe blackberrys with a soft Irish whiskey is wonderfull.

Now you make that sound very tempting. Just made some plum gin, first time for this one, also planning to make sloe vodka & damson gin this year.

We've just made some blackberry vodka, apple and cinnamon vodka, plum and blueberry vodka, chilli n lime, and tangerine sage vodkas.
Can't beat that Chilli and Lime vodka, wow.

Ooooohhh, never heard of that one. Will have to give it a try.
We still have about two gallons of blackberry from 2008, but the 2006 was the best ever. That's all gone now.
But we keep trying. We always call sloe vodka "plods". When we first got mobiles with built-in dictionaries and automatic word completion (Nokia 8210) they didn't know "sloes" and always substituted "plods".
So it kinda stuck. Now we have blackberry plods, cherry plods, raspberry plods...
Yes we make it most years and damson vodka and sloe gin too.
Try adding nuts and melted chocolate to the 'used fruit' to make a tasty condiment!
PREPER...........
i've got sloe gin, damson gin, blackberry gin and blackberry scotch from last year. now which to take to gathering?
i've just made some elderberry gin to see how that goes.

Made blackberry whiskey last year and it was amazing, almost like a port. Have made this years batch last week, although i dont think it will be as good as the blackberrys are nowehere near as sweet this year
I have just filtered a litre of sloe vodka after being sat for 4 months, not even tried it yet.
I've also still got another kg of sloes in the freezer
