Blackwood's Vintage 40º

Blackwood's Vintage Dry Gin is created with hand-harvested Shetland botanicals. Local crofters harvest our Shetland botanicals each Summer, roughly between June and September (depends when summer comes, and whether it is warm and dry like 2003 or cool, wet and windy like 2005) in proportions that do not disturb the fragile local habitat. Using a sustainable harvesting programme it is ensured the harmony with Shetlands unspoilt environment. The sustainable sourcing and harvesting was developed in collaboration with Highland Natural Products, FWAG and the Orkney Agronomy College. The plants are brought down to the mainland of Scotland to be gently small-batch distilled. Blackwood's is truly the essence of Shetland, and the world's only handpicked gin.
