We recently gave a warm Harris welcome to the team from the Scotch Malt Whisky Society as they travelled to our distillery to fill three special casks for future collaborations. They also brought with them their iconic green bottles to hold the first of their trio of SMWS limited single cask releases made with our island spirit. On December 2nd this Distillery 163 - "Smokin’!" bottling went on sale to members (and sold out) and their ever-interesting tasting notes were: “Descriptors for the aroma came fast and furious - gravadlax sauce, beech-smoked trout, black peppercorn-infused rye whisky and homemade sweet ploughman's pickle. The taste was like smoked brisket pastrami prepared in a brine of pink curing salt, sugar and spices, alongside mild goat's cheese on Jamaican gingerbread - intrigued? You should be! And what a change after the addition of water. Initially we stayed in the Caribbean with a warm Jamaican-style coffee and walnut cake followed by the sweet scent of cherry wood-smoked marshmallows. On the palate, we now found a mixture between a smoked battenberg cake and tiramisu with smoked cocoa powder.” We'll share a short film in the coming days but meantime, please read more about their visit, our proud partnership, and the successes of our distillery's purpose-led enterprise via the link below... https://lnkd.in/exPhJkMh

Last night the Isle of Harris Distillery team celebrated some wonderful successes at the Scottish Whisky Awards 2024 in Glasgow. We were delighted to receive awards for Newcomer of the Year and Product Launch of the Year for our inaugural single malt The Hearach, and take home the crowning achievement of the evening, the title Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year for 2024. The distillery was commended for leading with vision, and a commitment to community and local partnerships with a culture of 'people first'. "Winning these prestigious awards is a truly special moment for us. The Hearach has been a long time in the making, and to see it so well received by industry experts is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of our incredible team. Each bottle reflects the unique character and spirit of Harris—our island, our people, and our heritage. These accolades inspire us to continue creating exceptional single malts that share the story of this remarkable place with whisky lovers around the world." - Simon Erlanger, Managing Director. The Isle of Harris Distillery extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Scottish Whisky Awards for this recognition and to our loyal supporters who have embraced the work we do. Thank you for being part of our story and success!

We love a bit of creative collaboration, particularly when it celebrates island culture combined with craftsmanship. Our Harris Cèilidh initiative wraps the age-old Outer Hebridean tradition of stories, music, and song around a beautiful hand-thrown ceramic bottle of our gin. This year's Yellow Edition sold out in less than a day and today's second release now online is heading the same way. If you're looking to share some island spirit and a little brightness during the darker months of the season then follow the link below. Thank you to ceramist Rupert Blamire for his incredible work and be sure to admire the equally beautiful presentation box from the creative team at APS Group in Edinburgh via... https://lnkd.in/eVnphwey

We're pleased to release The Hearach First Fill Oloroso Cask Matured Single Malt, the second whisky expression from our island distillery and the Isle of Harris. In the far south-western corner of Spain lies the ancient region of Andalusia. Here among hot and dusty hills of Huelva, the men and women of sherry-makers José y Miguel Martín ‘cooper’ casks with age-old craft and care before they are sent to their wineries in Jerez. We first visited this historic part of world back in 2015 to begin our relationship with this highly respected family business, and have been proud to source our specially selected Oloroso butts directly from them ever since. Their Oloroso sherry is a dry, dark and nutty fortified wine and its influence on the wood in turn imparts an unmistakably bold richness to our spirit when the casks finally reach Harris and begin maturing our island whisky far from their original home You can now buy your bottle here in the UK through our website store, or from the distillery shop in Tarbert. This new dram will also be available globally over the coming weeks and months. Please visit our international stockist pages for more. RICH, BOLD, AROMATIC. £75.00 / 46% ABV Non-chill filtered / No artificial colouring. www.harrisdistillery.com

Our second expression of The Hearach launches on September 24th. Join us at 10am (UK time) online or here in Harris as we release a new expression of The Hearach single malt whisky. Available in the UK from Tuesday 24.09.24 and globally soon after...

From time to time, we quietly release a small allocation of our casks for private ownership. This year, we warmly invite you to join us as we go bolder than ever, with a limited number of Ex-Heaven Hill first-fill bourbon barrels to be filled with our most heavily peated spirit to date! Our private cask program allows you to own a piece of our history and have a unique, personalised spirit that can be enjoyed for years to come. Each cask purchased is filled especially for you here in Tarbert and comes with full island provenance, including both maturation and bottling here on the Isle of Harris. The barrel ends will be painted with your cask name and we even let you capture your dram when it's finally ready in our beautiful glass bottle with a customised label. If this is something that interests you, please email Jillian Maclennan via [email protected] for more information.
