Blackwoods Navy Strength Gin 60%, 70cl - Vintage Gin small batch distilled with Scotland's finest botanicals,Edition may vary

Good stuff!

Genuinely a great gin. I hovered around a few higher-% gins and stumbled on this a couple of years ago. It has a decent 'kick' but not at the expense of flavour. I realise that gin-drinkers have very selective tastes, but this one ticks all my boxes - and I have it on subscription now since I have no intention of buying any other gins.

As a gin lover for many years, I have to say that I have most certainly enjoyed ‘playing the field’ in this area. I took a risk on this ‘new gin’ for me whilst looking for a ‘Navy Strength’ purchase. I have to say up until this point Tarquin’s Sea Dog reigned supreme in my eyes as the number one Navy Gin until the ‘new kid on the block’ arrived and became a real contender for top slot. Weighing in at a heady 60% this gin is most certainly full bodied in flavour, but remains as smooth as silk in a measured glass of tonic, about 200ml does the trick. The taste is simple, sweet, smooth and extremely pleasing, leaving a warm almost brandy like warm afterglow on the palate. A lot of what I could continue to say has already been mentioned in the other unanimously rave reviews on this super gin. Suffice to say it is up with the very best in the options of many, so try it and I’m pretty certain you will be back for more like me. It’s not cheap but you do get what you pay for here, and it tastes very special.

Comparatively down on alcohol content compared to other vodkas.....Absolut....Stoli....etc.

This is one of my favourite gins. Light and refreshing with citrus hints. It's so difficult to get hold of these days. A staple in our drinks cabinet!

Quality product that went down so well will be indulging again, excellent value for money 5 stars

Well i like my strong spirits, YOU DRINK LESS. I thought i would buy this i dont mind Gin but my choice is a good bourbon and not that nasty JD, But proper Bourbon small batch Bourbon, well i though HELLO 60% like a good white rum from JA the mother land. Did not disappoint i liked it that much i drunk it in 3 days WOW it was nice smooth and a big kick. with a reefer it was even better shouldn't be legal but it is, same as reefer should be legal but they aint. RESPECT. IT.

My husband and I have been drinking Blackwoods 40% gin for some years now, having seen it positively reviewed on an expert's Gin Appreciation website. As G&T fans (obviously, combined with Fever Tree tonic) we were hooked straight away on its wonderful flavours and botanicals. When we discovered that Blackwoods also produce a 60% gin, we just had to try it, and we were not disappointed. The stronger gin doesn't stray too far from it's 'little brother', but the delicate flavours are enhanced for a sublime G&T. We will certainly be buying this again, and can highly recommend it to anyone with a sophisticated taste and send of enjoyment for a truly fantastic G&T.

Obwohl ich kein Wodgafan bin, seit ich den Blackwood probierte sehe ich das anders. Er brennt nicht hat kein billig wirkenden neben Geschmack wie andere Sorten. Am besten Kalt genießen.

Ce n'est pas la meme Vodka que sur la photographie (en tous cas celle qui m'a été livré). En effet si la marque est la même (heureusement). Ce n'est pas la même bouteille (plus original sur la photo) ni le meme processus de distillation (5 fois sur la photo, 3 fois sur celle livré). Sinon pour la Vodka en elle même (soit la triple distillation), elle est correct sans plus. Elle présente donc à mon sens un mauvais rapport qualité prix par rapport a certaines autres autres Vodka moins cher et de qualité supérieure.

Je m'attendais à un fort gout et odeur d'alcool mais finalement on ne sent pas trop les 60% Il ne se mélange pas très bien avec tonic ou jus, bref j'ai pas trop aimé en cocktail Mais je l'ai trouvé excellent seul avec des glaçons, c'est là qu'ils révèle tout ses arômes.

Recu bouteille 2012 (2006 sur la photo) (vendeur livebox) Je sens surtout le citron vert puis des notes florales/herbales Gin très doux, facile à boire seul Très rafraichissant, parfait avec boisson gazeuse (gin tonic, tom collins)

I bought this Gin based on some very high opinion of it from someone else and for once, I was not disappointed. It makes an very nice gin-tonic with a Thomas Henry or other nuanced tonics (avoid Schweppes which would cover this gin's subtle taste too much), and it has an especially good and different taste when tasting it pure, against some other gins. I did a comparative tasting against a Tanqueray and a Boë's Superior Gin I also just bought to try it out. The Blackwood's easily won, and the Boë clearly lost (revealed as one of these gins that "taste like a perfume", quite all-right but lacking the subtelty and variety of aromas that one finds in the Blackwood's and other more elaborate gins). The Tanqueray was also tasting much less rich than the Blackwoods and seemed boring in comparison (though it remains still a good choice for gin-tonics). I will definitely buy this Blackwood's gin again!
