Music icon & entrepreneur Chris Blackwell is no stranger to rum. He recalls his destiny when young was to take over the famous rum distillers J. Wray & Nephew, the family firm. However fate intervened, the business was sold in 1957 & Chris sett off on another track, setting up Island Records in Kingston in 1959 & the rest is, as they say, history. Sure, maybe people like a bit of the history & things I've done says Blackwell, but I'm really only connected to this product because I think it's a truly great tasting rum. Blackwell Rum is a dark gold rum made from Jamaican sugar cane & distilled by Jamaican workers. Chris, as a Jamaican knows his fellow islanders prize the darker style of gold rums & this is his take on the local favourite. ...

Blackwoods Nordic Vodka inherits the 1200-year-old tradition of Viking voyages across the North Sea. These hardy pioneers settled first in the Shetland Islands, far North of Scotl&. At sea, a Viking might cool his drink by tying a rope around it & letting it chill in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. This same perfect chilling can be achieved today just by putting your Blackwoods Vodka in the freezer or fridge. You know it is ready to serve when the front panel changes colour from Frost to Iceberg blue (and from May 1, to fiery Viking red!). This is the first Vodka in the world to be ice filtered, as well as triple distilled over Nordic Birch charcoal for exceptional purity & smoothness. A process unique to Blackwood Distillers, their Blackwoods Vodka has been created by super chilling to optimise the product for chilled drinking. The 100% triple distilled wheat grain spirit is then combined with natural spring water from Shetlands sandstone aquifers that bubble up from deep under the rocks of the North Atlantic. The Shetland Islands, lying at the far North of Scotland off the coast of Norway have an ancient Viking past, a people who preferred their drink pure, smooth & often by necessity, ice cold. Ideal chilled, neat or mixed, 70% of taste testers have voted Blackwoods Nordic Vodka their number 1 choice for smoothness in blind taste tests & 80% placed it in their top two. This was against Smirnoff, Absolut, Vladivar & Skky. Blackwoods Nordic Vodka is specifically designed to be drunk chilled at 5oC or less & its exceptional smoothness comes from a combination of its Birch charcoal & ice filtering, purity of water as well as a special secret process! Crisp, bracing & with the smoothest of finishes: Vodka fit for our Viking forefathers. Is this the worlds smoothest vodka? Only you can judge! ...
