"Full of island character and crafted for enjoyment, Isle of Harris Single Malt Whisky is an accessible single malt appealing to those who love a complex, easy drinking and delicious everyday dram. Woven from people and place, every drop of our whisky is made, matured and married on the island by a team of young local distillers and blenders, trained from scratch. Everything is done by hand, eye, and nose to create our ideal flavour characteristics.
Isle of Harris Single Malt Whisky is distilled at our distillery in the small village of Tarbert and matured in the highest quality ex-Bourbon and ex-Oloroso sherry casks. The whisky is matured exclusively in the shoreline warehouses of Ardhasaig overlooking the Atlantic and just a few short miles from the distillery. With the island’s high humidity and low temperature fluctuation, it’s one of the most unique maturation environments in the world. Our whisky is produced using local water which flows over 3-billion-year-old Gneiss rocks, resulting in the softest source waters in Scotland.
On the nose, there’s 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 clove and ginger, balanced by the dry, flinty character that’s so typical of Isle of Harris spirit. The finish is long and creamy, with a soft echo of Outer Hebridean peat smoke."
About the Producer
The Isle of Harris Distillery began with a simple idea.
Over the decades, the island has suffered from a long-term decline in population, with community numbers having halved over the last fifty years.
As young people leave Harris to seek their fortune, few are able to return to find work, set down roots and build a life in the place they called home. It is a firm belief that the distillery was built not just for years but for generations, and can be a way to help stem this tide.
In 2015, the distillery started life with just 10 people and an ambition to double in number over the next five years. Today, they are proud to employ over 50 permanent staff, a highly significant number in an island of fewer than 2000 inhabitants.
As a catalyst for positive change within the community, the team continue to work with purpose, bringing new life to the island and supporting its aspirations to survive and thrive as they move forward together.
