Nestled high in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, the Isle of Harris Distillery welcomes all with a sense of adventure. They are known as 'The Social Distillery', an ethos which embraces the generous character of the island and the people who live there. The award-winning Isle of Harris Gin is the distillery's inaugural spirit release. Every drop is distilled in Tarbert in their small copper gin still, known affectionately as 'The Dottach' after a similarly fiery and feisty local woman. Made with 9 carefully chosen botanicals: Local hand-harvested Sugar Kelp, Macedonian Juniper Berries, English Coriander Seed, Cubebs / Javan Pepper, Bitter Orange Peel, Angelica Root, Cassia Bark, Orris Root, Liquorice On The NoseA well-defined juniper note with pine needles, immediately followed by the fresh citrus notes of bitter orange, lime and grapefruit.

MATURATION: Matured in organic, virgin oak casks. Pour yourself a dram of this beautiful Speysider, lift it to the light and notice the golden brown colour, imparted by our virgin oak casks. Even the wood we use for maturing the spirit is an intrinsic part of producing this beautifully balanced Organic Single Malt Whisky—a world-first when it was launched. With that in mind, enjoy the sumptuous AROMA WITHOUT WATER. It's delightfully sweet and malty at first, and after a few inhalations you may detect vanilla, toffee and banana influences coming through. Enjoy the TASTE WITHOUT WATER roll it around your mouth and savour the creamy pepper and sweet fruit flavours, particularly ripe bananas. Add a trickle of water to release the whisky and take in the AROMA WITH WATER; fresh and malty with darker, delicious hints of coffee and cocoa. You may smell some vanilla notes, and a touch of the fruit bowl coming through once again—this time with citrus fruits, especially lemons. Now for the TASTE WITH WATER; the smooth and mellow body has an exotic carnival feel with some gorgeous chilli spice and tropical fruit flavours, balanced with creaminess and a dark chocolate edge: a mouth-watering balance with a smooth and long finish. This whisky is certified Organic from start to finish, meeting rigorous UK Soil Association standards for growing the ingredients, distillation, maturation and bottling. Unique on launch in 2006, this organic certification is still very rare today.

The Benromach Peat Smoke Whisky 2014 is a perfect representation of the traditional Scottish distilling methods used by Benromach. On the nose, layers of rich peat smoke intertwine with sweet vanilla and honey, followed by notes of apple and pear. The colour is a warm and inviting golden amber, hinting at the complexity of flavours to come. On the palate, the smoky notes take center stage, complemented by a subtle sweetness and hints of oak and spices. The long and lingering finish leaves a pleasant warmth in the mouth, making this whisky a perfect choice for a crisp autumn evening. Crafted by a distillery with a rich history and expertise, this limited edition release from the 2014 vintage is a true testament to the art of whisky making in Scotland.

The result is a perfect combination of vibrancy and depth. The nose is sweetly aromatic with notes of cream soda, cacao husk, sandalwood, pineapple and green almonds. In the mouth, a viscous honeyed entry precedes spicy wood aromatics along with parchment and caramelised walnuts. Adding water brings a little of that Ardmore smoke to the fore. The finish is refreshing and long. Simply sip and savour—with a dash of water to release the oils and esters—or enjoy as a long drink with soda, Japanese style.

The smokiness of peat is balanced by the sweetness of honey and toffee, while a hint of citrus adds a refreshing touch. The finish is long and warming, leaving a pleasant sensation of oak and spice.
