After more than a decade of distilling, the Isle of Harris Distillery has launched a new core expression encapsulating the Island’s Hebridean spirit. The Isle of Harris single malt, priced at £50, is made to be enjoyed by both seasoned whisky drinkers, and those who are entirely new to the whisky world. The malt offers an intentionally approachable flavour profile, encouraging owners to extend some of that island hospitality with your nearest and dearest through sharing a dram, or cocktail*.

Tasting notes from Shona Macleod, distillery blender at Isle of Harris: “On the nose, there is an immediate warmth: butterscotch and iced cherry Bakewell tart, like a pastry shop on a cold morning. As it opens, brighter fruit and delicate floral notes appear, with a gentle hint of spice. The palate brings rich, buttery caramels and sweet cloves and ginger balanced by the dry, flinty character that’s so typical of Isle of Harris spirit. The finish is light and creamy, with a soft echo of Outer Hebridean peat smoke.”

In 2015, the distillery was founded with the overarching aim of providing multi-generational local employment and creating a catalyst for positive change for the island community. Since then, the distillery has produced arguably one of the most recognisable Scottish gins over the last decade, and their more recent Hearach single malt, which has earned over 25 rewards since its initial release.

Every aspect of the distillery’s products are deliberate – from the iconic bottle design inspired by the cross-hatched lines of the island’s famous handwoven Harris Tweed, to the copper flecks in the bottle’s label, a nod to the copper stills used at the distillery. We can guarantee you’ll feel connected to the Outer Hebrides through every drop poured.
