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!!!”

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.

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.
