The first gin in the world using local botanical ingredients from Shetland, the islands lying at the far North of Scotland, and a gold medal winner at the World Spirits Festival with 95/100 points.

Bracing, crisp and richly aromatic, Blackwood's Nordic Dry Gin includes local wild water mint, sea pink, angelica and juniper berries as well as seven other botanicals from trading routes around the world.

Gin has been smuggled, traded and illicitly distilled in the islands for centuries.
