Award-winning Isle of Harris Gin is crafted in the village of Tarbert. Every drop is distilled in a small copper gin still known as ‘The Dottach’, before being bottled and sealed by hand. The beautifully designed bottle captures the elemental nature of the Isle of Harris, while its contents reward discerning gin drinkers with refreshing maritime pleasures. The inclusion of local, hand-harvested Sugar Kelp emphasises the island’s deep connection to the sea, while eight other carefully chosen botanicals contribute to its unique flavour.
Available in a 700ml bottle, at 45% abv.
TASTING NOTES
Nose
Well-defined juniper notes with pine needles, immediately followed by the fresh citrus notes of bitter orange, lime and grapefruit. Develops a complex floral note of rose and wallflowers with crushed green herbs, coriander and gooseberry all underpinned by mixed spice. Sugar Kelp adds to the complexity and richness and gives a dry maritime note.
Palate
Refreshing, with good balance between the bitter juniper and pine and the sweet fruit flavours of mango, grapefruit and orange. A green herb flavour of crushed coriander develops. Distinctive and smooth with a dry, flinty taste.
Finish
A long, clean finish. As the juniper and citrus fade away, sweet vanilla and black pepper remain with a gentle reminder of the sea.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with your favourite tonic, ice and a slice of red/pink grapefruit.
