The Blackwood's Vintage Dry Strong 2017 Gin is a distillate of exceptional purity and intensity, produced in limited quantities to maintain a captivating individuality. Originating from the remote Shetland Islands in the north of Scotland, this gin is crafted using local botanical ingredients that are only harvested during years when their quality is at its peak, thereby reflecting the true spirit of the island terroir.

The uniqueness of Blackwood's Vintage Gin lies in its distillation during the year indicated on the bottle, 2017 in this case, making it a rare vintage expression in the world of gin. The alcohol content of 60%, quite high, enhances the aromas and flavors of the used botanicals, among which wild juniper, chamomile, marigold, and coriander stand out, all sustainably gathered on the islands.

Upon tasting, this gin presents a robust and aromatic start, evolving into a complex palate where notes of wild herbs and meadow flowers harmoniously blend with fresh citrus accents. The finish is long and clean, with an aftertaste where a slight piquant spiciness, typical of high-proof gins, stands out.

Perfect to be enjoyed in a classic gin and tonic with a slice of lemon or lime, the Blackwood's Vintage Dry Strong 2017 Gin can also be the ideal base for more complex and structured cocktails, where its strong personality can truly emerge. It is a distillate that gin connoisseurs will appreciate for its intensity and exclusivity.
