Taste
Citrus notes leading into juniper with a gentle sweetness from the liquorice, finishing with a touch of peppery tones from the cassia bark and cubeb. Throughout a sweet, saltiness is lingering in the background from the sugar kelp.
A refreshing and smooth gin, nothing overpowering, and perfectly balanced. At 45%ABV it lends itself to be a classy sipping gin, but equally delectable with tonic.
About
Working with nine carefully chosen ingredients, each lending their own individual characteristics, and all sourced with our usual attention to detail to form the botanical base for Isle of Harris Gin.
Sugar Kelp plays the starring role, bringing a complex, maritime edge to proceedings and they work with local diver and seaweed expert Lewis Mackenzie to gather this magical seaweed from their local sea-lochs in a sustainable harvest.
Lewis picks the gold-green fronds from hidden underwater forests by hand in the springtime before taking them to be dried locally.
The kelp is left to recover and grow, ensuring this vital local habitat for sealife is not harmed.
Our local distillers create gin in a small copper gin still, nicknamed 'The Dotach' in honour of a similarly small and feisty local woman who is fondly remembered in Harris from days gone by.
The spirit is softened by the fresh, low-mineral rainwaters which flow from the nearby source stream of Abhainn Cnoc a ’Charrain.
Isle of Harris Gin is bottled by hand at the distillery, before they apply the labels and closing, each one with a natural cork and wood stopper.
Finally, a paper seal is applied bearing the distillery's geographical coordinates to each and every single bottle by hand, your guarantee of a truly Outer Hebridean gin, made in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else.
