Blackwood's

Blackwoods is the world’s first vintage gin. Made with botanicals harvested once a year from the Shetland Islands, each vintage is slightly different due to changes in the quality and quantities of the botancials.

From the Shetland Islands comes angelica, sea pink flowers and meadowsweet, with the last two giving the gin a slight greenish hue. The juniper, nutmeg, coriander, citrus peel, and more, are added.

The distillers would be foolish to try and create the exact same flavor profile year on year – instead they allow each year’s crop to dictate that particular vintage’s final flavor (which doesn’t vary wildly from the next).
