The Harris Island Distillery began with a simple idea. The inspiration came from Anderson "Burr" Bakewell, who has been connected to this island through a long association with neighbouring Scarp, and many decades of living among the landscapes of Harris and the people of that community. On 24 September 2015, his simple idea finally came to fruition with the opening of the doors of the Harris Island Distillery for the first time.


Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
