Blackwoods Vintage Dry Gin, 70cl

Product Information

The makers list the Shetland botanicals gathered to make their 2017 vintage as Wild Thyme, Meadowsweet, Cowslip and Eyebright (a group of flowering plants traditionally used to treat eye infections). Certainly from the documentary clips I have seen about the Shetlands and their climate I’m mildly surprised anything grows there apart from heather, but the quartet meld together in a flavour that has breadth and subtlety as well as initial impact. “And I have to say that my first sip of the neat spirit snatched my breath away like an arctic gale – but what a stunning aftertaste.” BLOOM Gin Master Distiller, Joanne Moore is an internationally-revered expert in the industry and has worked at the G&J Distillery since 1996. Encased in each bottle is a shimmering wand containing bright Swarovski elements, each compiled by hand so no two bottles are the same. We steep the botanicals in natural mineral water to release their gentle flavours before we go on to distillation in small batches using a traditional copper still. Our Shetland botanicals are infused with juniper and coriander, plus other botanicals including lime, to give our dry gin its unique and complex flavour.

Two Birds Spirits was founded in 2013, in the quaint British countryside town of Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

At the time Old Tom gin was being made there were no glass bottles so gin was generally transported in a variety of casks or barrels from distillery to pub. As a nod to this our Old Tom has been lightly rested in oak which has imparted a sweeter vanilla note. This, together with the addition of liquorish and cinnamon, has enhanced the subtle sweetness. Additional spices have been added to make this a smooth aromatic tipple.
