Blackwoods Gin

Most gin brands pour enormous resources into making sure every single bottle tastes exactly the same, year after year. Blackwoods does the opposite: as the world's first vintage gin, the house deliberately lets the harsh, unpredictable weather of the Shetland Islands shape each vintage. The result is a gin that, like wine, can taste different from year to year, depending on how nature has behaved.

About Blackwoods Gin

The vintage gin concept is unusual in a category where most brands chase 100 percent consistent flavour bottle to bottle, but Blackwoods flips that and makes nature's variation the whole point.

History & Background

The brand sources its botanicals from the harsh, remote Shetland Islands north of the Scottish mainland, where a tough climate and short growing season give each vintage its own unique character.

Production & Style

Wild-growing botanicals are harvested on Shetland and distilled the same year, meaning the flavour from vintage to vintage reflects that season's weather conditions.

Signature Style

Wild, Vintage, Unique
A raw, nature-driven character that varies year to year, with a constant thread of Shetland's harsh, saline nature.

Did You Know?

Because Blackwoods harvests its botanicals wild in nature rather than growing them under controlled conditions, each vintage of the gin tastes slightly different, much like a vintage wine.
