Blackwood distillery

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.
