The distillery is set within a beautiful building in a nicely set location close to the Skye ferry. We arrived near closing when the staff were trying their best to serve everyone left in the shop. Yet they took the time to offer a sample and I also was able to buy a dram at the bar and enjoy it by their lovely welcoming peat fire. In the shop they sell their whisky releases and their wonderful gin as well as the sugar kelp that makes their gin taste uniquely delicious. Tours are available but we arrived too late. Hospitality was generous despite the hour, and the elderly members of our party were welcomed to sit inside while we fetched the car. The sample was served without water and to me the spirit still seemed pretty young and a touch too hot. I think the bar staff served the dram with tap water rather than spring water but maybe the local water is just that good. Whatever, the water did the trick, unlocking clean malty grain flavours in their bourbon cask offering. The whisky's finish is long and warming, like the sound of a bell that resonates long after it strikes the hour. (It is still ringing in my memory.) I didn't buy a bottle only because I found out that it was available at my local spirits shop. According to what I've read, this distillery has done everything right - serving the community, adhering to natural processes and flavours, building their whisky business on their gin business, and sticking to a strategy without gimmicks. It is difficult to judge the price, which is higher than Ledaig 10, and might strike some as unreasonable, but I think this unique whisky will compete very well once it reaches its first decade, if not before. When I returned home I found a delicious gift someone got for me: the Isle of Harris' first sherried whisky. This and the Cotswolds are now among my favourites of the "newer" distilleries along with Arndamurchan and Wolfburn. Among these, the Isle of Harris distillery stands apart in its laser focus on a smaller set of varieties rather than producing various special releases in a multitude of different casks. I appreciate this old school approach.

The distillery was a destination for me and I was happy to purchase a limited edition ceramic bottle. I only wish there were some small bites available and more cocktail options. They have a beautiful store. Definitely a place to stop by on the way to Stornoway.

Exceptional whisky tour, learnt a huge amount about Harris’ history and the distilling process thanks to Jackie’s expert guided tour. The shop is fab and worth a visit even if you can’t get a tour - loved hearing about Burr Bakewell and the legacy of founding a distillery by and for the people of Harris.

Had an excellent time here doing the Haerach tour. Our guide Mary was a wealth of information. I can highly recommend the tour, even if you have done a few already. The stills are something you will not see in other distilleries, and this is the only distillery using an abacus :) There's plenty of parking available, and you can get drivers drams should you be the unfortunate driver doing a distillery tour. As far as I can tell the tour is accessible. There is a lift , and the tour takes place on even floors, unlike in older distilleries where you'd walk up and down stairs.

LOVED visiting the Isle of Harris distillery was so quaint, warm and friendly. They have a lovely coffee shop that serves the drinks distilled there. The real fire was a welcome site. They have amazing tours to see what they do there and explain the processes of distilling the gin and whisky.

We enjoyed the stories and history behind the distillery on the whisky tour. Not big whisky drinkers but really liked to try both whiskies for the first time.

Great distillery, really surprised by how amazing it is! You can also taste the gin / whiskey at the entrance & access the entrance with dogs! The shop is great, and you have to buy something 😉 Coffee is also really good! Must go!

Loved the fabrics with mixture of different thread but how can l get some to buy since am in Ghana

Really knowledgable staff and very enjoyable shopping with wood burner and spectacular views. This company goes out of its way to source wool and tweed from independent makers and mills and uses hand picked tailors in Italy and Ireland to make the clothing

This trip to St Kilda was one of the best experiences of my life—from the moment Captain Angus and Skipper Fred invited us aboard until the moment we stepped foot back in Leverburgh’s harbour. Hirta and St Kilda are truly special places and we feel so lucky to have gone with such a capable crew. Our pictures don’t do the day justice. To feel the wind and hear it on the Fulmar’s wing as they fly past, to smell the salt and the heather, and to soak in the history and stories of the island is priceless. I’ll never forget peering over the cliff edge at the top of The Gap, and seeing the birds soar up the drafts off the cliff. The cherry on top of the day was visiting the stacs, navigating the swirling waters and rocks to see the sea birds on the cliffs, and hearing the stories Fred told about the animals and people who lived in these lands. Thank you so much for a day I will never, ever forget.

Highly recommend the trip to St Kilda islands with Kilda Cruises. The 4+ hours on land at Hirta was amazing and scenic. But to my surprise I enjoyed the sailing around the other smaller Islands even more.

One of the best experience in our life, it was amazing. We were lucky with good whether and had chance to try local sand beach and swim there. The heritage village, birds, the rocks and islands everything was unforgettable

A huge thank you to Fergus and his team for a extraordinary day in St Kilda. We went on the first trip of the season and everything was perfect including the weather. It couldn't have gone better, booking and communication pre-trip were excellent. We felt very welcome and safe throuout the trip. We especially enjoyed the very informative tour around the stacs and Boreray at the end of the day. Thoroughly recommend.

We went to the Shiant Isles with Kilda Cruises and there simply aren't enough words to praise the boat crew for their outstanding job. They helped us enjoy one of the best boat trips ever. Definitely recommended, worth every single penny!

5 stars are nit enough 20 out of 20 Whole trip was amazing so if you get a chance do it

Absolutely breathtaking experience from start to finish, crew were exceptional 👏 one minute you're leaving st kilda behind heading home, the next BOOM! Round the stacks and bororay which was my favourite part of the day, another tick on the bucket list 👌
