The Isle of Harris Distillery
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you won’t have escaped the seemingly unstoppable rise of Scottish gin.
One brand that seems to encapsulate the ethos of championing not just local produce but a sense of community is the Isle of Harris Gin, in that very distinctive blue bottle, used, when empty, for a variety of different purposes, including many restaurants for serving table water as evidenced by our own editor on more than one occasion.
The Isle of Harris Distillery, or the Social Distillery as it is often referred to, was opened in October 2015, in the small harbor village of Tarbert, the vision of Anderson ‘Burr’ Bakewell, a man who has been connected to the island for many years.
