Scotland Botanical
CLASSIC DRY GIN 40% VINTAGE 2021
TASTING NOTES
Blackwoods is the world’s first vintage gin. Blackwoods Gin was born on the wild islands of Shetland, where the unforgiving seasonal weather means that different native botanical plants thrive each year, creating a unique vintage. Now, Blackwoods has made the move to the mainland, where the shimmering lochs, rugged mountains, dense forests, and a global reputation for outstanding distillates have inspired to seek out the very best native Scottish botanicals each year to create the ultimate Scottish gin. The 2021 vintage uses ingredients from the Scottish coast for a classic gin with a fresh, citrus flavour and a hint of spice. The 2021 vintage celebrates ingredients from the Scottish coast including kelp, sea buckthorn and water mint for a classic gin with a fresh citrus flavour and a hint of spice. Best enjoyed over ice with tonic and a wedge of grapefruit. Proudly distilled and bottled in Scotland, this Gin was made in collaboration with award-winning Master Distiller, Sion Edwards. Balckwoods Gin is also Vegan and environmentally conscious, in fact the bottle is made from 52% recycled glass, the cap is made from recycled ABS in a 100% renewable energy powered factory and the label is printed on uncoated, wood-free, vFSC certified paper.

The Blackwoods distillery was founded by Caroline Whitfield in 2002, with the aim of building and becoming the first distillery in the Shetland Islands. In 2005 the first 60% and 40% Vintage Dry Gins were released. The gin is made unique by the use of botanicals that are grown and hand-picked during the same year and then selected and used according to the season and climate of the harvest. Each summer, a decision is made on which botanicals to harvest in order to obtain an ever more refined product. Among the herbs cultivated and used in Blackwoods Vintage Dry Gin are Sea Almeria, Water Mint, Filipendula Ulmaria, Angelica and Coriander. These attentions result in a unique product, enriching the finest drinks in an incomparable way. Now the distillery has new premises just outside Glasgow, it has found a great synergy and elective affinity with the Ardgowan distillery and has thus found a way to realise, thanks to new zero impact distillation technologies, the dream of becoming a Carbon Negative company. The new Blackwoods House will be open for visits later this year and the beating heart will be the small distilling machines where limited-edition spirits will be produced with a strong emphasis on seasonal expressions of botanicals. This whole project has been followed and developed together with Master Distiller Sion Edwards, whose signature is clearly visible on the label.
