We are thrilled to extend a special invitation to an exclusive tasting event hosted by Patricia MacLeod and Quinton Jay of BWS. Join us for an unforgettable evening with Iona Cairns, the esteemed Brand Ambassador from the Isle of Harris Distillery, Scotland!!! She is wrapping up her US Tour (like Taylor Swift but only with Scotch) at BWS on her way back home to Scotland. This unique event is scheduled for Tuesday, January 30, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM at BWS. https://harrisdistillery.com

How it all began: Patricia, a native of the Outer Hebrides (https://www.visitouterhebrides.co.uk/)…. “With a father from the Isle of Harris and mother from the Isle of Lewis, two gorgeous islands separated only by a stream of water and a tiny bridge, I had one foot in each island throughout my Hebridean childhood. My love for my homeland is eternal, and the longing is real, so to have Isle of Harris nectar available on our doorstep in Millbrae is truly amazing.” Patricia told Quinton about a new Scotch from her home Isle. “I knew we had to bring it in and it was SO GOOD, I am HOOKED!!!”

About Iona Cairns: Iona Cairns, hailing from the picturesque Isle of Harris in Scotland, is a renowned figure in the world of fine spirits. With a deep passion for her Scottish heritage and an extensive background in the distillery industry, Iona has been instrumental in introducing the world to Scotland's finest spirits. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the craft are contagious, making her an engaging and informative host. https://harrisdistillery.com/blogs/journal/welcoming-iona

Isle of Harris Gin: Experience the essence of the Outer Hebrides with the Isle of Harris Gin. Distilled in Tarbert, this gin is a delicate balance of nine carefully selected botanicals, including the unique Sugar Kelp, hand-harvested by a local diver from the deep underwater forests of the Outer Hebrides. This gives the gin its distinctive maritime flavor, a true representation of the island's landscape.

The Hearach - Isle of Harris Single Malt Scotch: "The Hearach" is a testament to the distillery's commitment to excellence. This single malt scotch is a rare gem, truly a small-batch, allocated spirit, crafted with utmost care and patience. Each sip transports you to the rugged coasts and gentle landscapes of Harris, with its rich flavors and aromas deeply rooted in the island's unique environment.

Don't miss this opportunity to meet Iona Cairns in person and explore the exquisite tastes of Isle of Harris Gin and The Hearach Single Malt Scotch. It promises to be an enlightening and enjoyable evening for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.

As a truly small batch allocated Scotch, it offers a distinct taste experience that speaks of the craftsmanship and heritage of the distillery.
