Blackwoods Botanical Vodka is distilled with various botanicals: kelp, water mint and sea buckthorn from the Scottish coast for a hint of sweet citrus. The distillery has gained recognition and numerous awards for its spirits: their gins and vodka have been praised for their quality, craftsmanship and the use of locally sourced botanicals.
The original Blackwoods Distillery was founded in Shetland in 2002 with the intention of producing a Shetland Single malt whisky. Sadly, the business went into administration in 2008. Eventually, the brand was acquired by Distil Plc, a UK spirit company that also produces, amongst others, Blavod, Redleg Spiced Rum and Trove. Production has been in England for some time but, in 2021, Distil announced that it had sealed a deal with the Ardgowan Distillery, 30 miles west of Glasgow, to establish a new bespoke gin centre at its Inverkip site, which will see production of Blackwoods spirits move back to Scotland.
One of the key factors that sets Blackwoods Distillery apart is its use of botanicals that are native to the Shetland Islands. The distillery takes advantage of the unique flora found in the region. These botanicals are hand-harvested from the rugged and pristine landscapes of the islands, imparting a distinct character to their spirit
As mentioned above, the botanicals for the Blackwoods Botanical Vodka are kelp, water mint and sea buckthorn. These are hand-foraged and can vary from vintage to vintage. They are only lightly infused, please do not confuse this with a “flavoured” vodka!
Blackwoods is dedicated to producing spirits which represent the very best of Scottish produce.
