Isle Of Harris Gin
Isle of Harris Gin is one of the most distinctive and celebrated gins to emerge from Scotland in recent years, crafted at the Isle of Harris Distillery in Tarbert on the Outer Hebrides. Made with nine carefully chosen botanicals, including hand-harvested Outer Hebridean Sugar Kelp seaweed, it is bottled at 45% ABV, delivering a beautifully balanced maritime gin of genuine character and elegance. A gin as elemental and captivating as the island that inspired it. Why You'll Love It Isle of Harris Gin is defined by its sense of place. The inclusion of hand-harvested Sugar Kelp from the surrounding Atlantic waters gives it a dry, flinty maritime quality that sets it apart from any other gin on the market. Juniper and citrus lead the way, with complex floral and herbal notes developing alongside the distinctive kelp character. Smooth, refreshing, and beautifully balanced, it is equally at home in a classic G&T or enjoyed neat over ice. The striking bottle, designed to evoke the elemental landscape of Harris, makes it one of the most gifted gins in the world. Distillery & Botanicals The Isle of Harris Distillery was founded in 2015 in Tarbert, Isle of Harris, with a mission to create a sustainable social distillery at the heart of the island community.

Bottled at 45% ABV. Tasting Notes The nose is well-defined and inviting, with juniper and pine needles immediately followed by fresh citrus notes of bitter orange, lime, and grapefruit. Complex floral notes of rose and wallflowers develop alongside crushed green herbs, coriander, and gooseberry, all underpinned by mixed spice. Sugar Kelp adds richness and a dry maritime depth. On the palate, refreshing and beautifully balanced, with bitter juniper and pine meeting sweet mango, grapefruit, and orange
