Blackwood distillery

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blackwood
Founded July 2002

Blackwood distillery is a Scottish distiller founded in July 2002 with the aim of building Shetland's first Scotch whisky distillery. In May 2008, the company went into administration, but a new company, Catfirth Ltd, was established to continue the business.[1] In 2013, word of further funding came through, with a promise that a distillery will open soon after.[2]

Until Blackwood distillery is operational, Highland Park in Orkney remains the most northerly distillery in Scotland.
