Isle of Harris Sugar Kelp Infused Gin 750ml Ludwigs POS

The concept of building a new distillery in this remote place isn’t straightforward, but founder Anderson “Burr” Bakewell believed the unique spirit of this special island could be captured quite literally in a bottle. The rare and elusive spirit of the Isle of Harris, which had drawn a special type of soul to it, was dwindling. The population slowly diminished, drawn away by modernity and the promise of prosperity on the mainland. Burr Bakewell gathered a group of like-minded individuals, who believed that the Isle still had much to give its people and the outside world, to bring his dream to life. It took 7 years for the dream to come true and on September 24th, 2015, the distillery opened. But that’s not the end of the story, just the beginning. They built this incredible product as their inaugural release, using the gifts the Isle had bestowed on its residents. The gin, distilled and bottled entirely on the island, is built around sustainably harvested Sugar Kelp. Local diver and seaweed expert Lewis Mackenzie harvests each batch for its starring role in this fabulous production. Offering a complex maritime influence, the unusual botanical is supported by eight more classic gin flavors: juniper, cassia, coriander, angelica, bitter orange peel, cubeb, licorice, & Orris roots. The gorgeous look of the Harris Gin bottle is as unique as it is inviting, but once you’ve tasted it, you’ll see why many believe this to be the next great Scottish gin.
