Not something you see every day, a vintage gin, containing nothing but the product of one years botanical harvest. Each year Blackwoods wait for the perfect time and conditions to hand-gather their botanicals, producing an intense and flavoursome spirit. No one vintage is the same. The botanicals are infused with coriander and juniper before being steeped in natural mineral water for superb, yet gentle, release of flavour. Alongside the unique Shetland botanicals, Blackwoods use lime and other more conventional botanicals to round out the flavours of this gin. The 2012 Vintage is crisp and citrusy, with a slight earthy spice, a bittersweet juniper note and slight floral flavour. There is a maritime, slightly flinty quality here too, which pairs extremely well with tonic. A sophisticated and complex spirit, with a real difference.
