Isle of Harris Gin

The award-wining Isle of Harris Gin is distilled in Tarbert in a small copper gin still, known as ‘The Dottach’. Named after a similarly small and feisty local woman who is fondly remembered in Harris.

The gin uses nine botanicals, orris root, cinnamon, juniper berries, liquorice root, corriander, orange peel, angelica root and includes Sugar Kelp seaweed which creates subtle coastal notes in the spirit. The sugar kelp is harvested by a local diver from the seas around the Outer Hebrides.

The distillers discard, instead of recycling the ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ of the
spirit run, leaving only the best of the distillate’s ‘’heart’ helping to create
an exceptional smoothness.
