Blackwoods Vintage Dry Gin 2017

Blackwoods

Blackwoods is one of the few gins to carry a vintage date, because the wild Shetland botanicals — sea mint, meadowsweet, and others — vary from season to season. The 2017 growing year produced a particularly aromatic crop, and you can taste the difference. This is gin as agricultural product, subject to the same seasonal logic as wine.
