‘Fresh white pepper notes give way to juniper aromas. The palate is clean with light citrus flavours. A refreshing dry finish lingers with a touch of sweetness at the end.’ International Wine & Spirits Silver Award 2024
Our award-winning classic London Dry Gin, distilled from the purest spirit, the finest botanicals and soft local water. The spirit balances the confident juniper notes of a traditional London Dry with bright coriander, warm cinnamon and zesty lemon. Blackwater No. 5 Gin is crisp and elegant, great as a G&T, and excellent in a cocktail.
We designed Blackwater No. 5 Gin from top to bottom using only the botanicals imported into Ireland by Whites of Waterford during the 19th century. Of the twelve botanicals used, ten are classic while two are rather special and probably unique to Blackwater No.5 Gin. All are locally sourced where possible, or from wherever in the world the finest grade happens to be.
Perfect Serve
Lots of ice, tonic water and a wedge of fresh lime.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
“Fresh white pepper notes give way to juniper aromas. The palate is clean with light citrus flavours. A refreshing dry finish lingers with a touch of sweetness at the end.”
– IWSC Spirit Award 2024, 91 pts
“Juniper upfront, with a very silky, viscous texture. The start is classic in style, but followed by a pop of intensity with coriander, bright floral notes, and citrus peel. The profile then develops into warm, sweet spice notes that lead onto the finish, which is long, lingering, and dry. This is a great example of how a distiller can achieve a procession of character and varying intensity in their gin.”
– David T Smith, spirits writer, author ‘Forgotten Spirits and Long-lost Liqueur.’
