SHOP OUR BEST-SELLING WHISKIES OF THE YEAR

Treat a loved one with cocktail-ready bourbons from Blanton’s, Evan Williams, or Buffalo Trace. For those who love blended Japanese whisky, why not opt for Hikibi Harmony or Suntory Toki? And if it’s single malt Scotch whisky you’re looking for, our customers loved Macallan 12 Year Old Sherry Oak, Laphroaig 10 Year Old or Lagavulin 16.

Our home village of Tarbert is a long way from the bright lights of London or the rink at Rockefeller, but the local community have been busy adding a little sparkle to its streets. Harsh winter weather and high winds mean that there’s little place for delicate decorations, so simple colours and robust bulbs tend to be the order of the day.

A little further to our south, the fishing community of Leverburgh have once again built their crab creel and lobster pot tree, all well-tethered with robust ropes and decked with marker buoys for baubles!

And, our distillery shines brightly among it all this year thanks to the efforts of our production manager John and his team. Well done to everyone across the island who has worked hard to help keep things feeling festive during a very dark island December!

The distillery team are now getting ready to wrap things up for the year and head home to spend some quality time with friends and family. Before we sign-off we’d like to thank you for all your support this year, from kind messages to buying a bottle (or three) of our island spirits.

Your ongoing connection to our purpose-driven enterprise is helping to secure a sustainable future for a new generation of islanders here in the Isle of Harris. Have a wonderful and peaceful festive season, from our Outer Hebridean home to yours, wherever you are in the world this Christmas!
