Will definitely look forward to buying a bottle at some point.

This morning I was digging through old posts, spotting errors etc when I noticed one about Blackwoods going into administration.

It appears they have licenced their vodka to Blavod

I repeat, Blackwoods vodka is now available again. This stuff is amazing. Must buy.

Looking at their vodka shelves I noticed 3 bottles of Blackwood Vodka.

Yoink.

I had a bottle before after searching for a few years and it was gorgeous. Later spotted some in a wine shop in Edinburgh for £20. Thought sod that and now managed to score these for £16 each. Seeing as they are now in administration I will need to keep one but one was opened Saturday night and was as good as I remember. mmmm.

Saw Blackwoods vodka in window, ooooh! Unfortunately it was £19! Outrageous but also, I later found out, discontinued. Crossed road and spotted Oddbins. Cogs started wheelin’ so I popped in.

Spotted a lone Reyka vodka reduced to £16.19.

How many bottles of that do you have?
I’ll just check, replies the salesman.

Six says he.

I glanced at Genna, seeing the look I’ll have 2 please. We were already overloaded with bags unfortunately and still had about a mile to walk.

I was so tempted though.

One was cracked open in celebration. They also stocked an Uluvka box set which was really cool. Really nice bottle, nice glasses, no idea what it tastes like so I wasn’t risking £50 on it.
