A SCOTTISH whisky distillery has won big at the 2024 Scottish Whisky Awards.
The national awards programme, which celebrates Scotland’s most iconic global product, recognised excellence across the Scotch whisky industry.
This year’s competition featured a "rigorous" blind tasting of over 200 Scotch whiskies produced by more than 60 Scottish distilleries and independent bottlers.
The top prize of the night, Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year, was awarded to Isle of Harris Distillery. The distillery also won Product Launch of the Year and Newcomer of the Year.
Simon Erlanger, managing director of Isle of Harris Distillery, said: "Winning these prestigious awards is a truly special moment for us.
"The Hearach has been a long time in the making, and to see it so well received by industry experts is a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship of our incredible team.
“Each bottle reflects the unique character and spirit of Harris – our island, our people, and our heritage. These accolades inspire us to continue creating exceptional single malts that share the story of this remarkable place with whisky lovers around the world."
Erlanger added: “Isle of Harris Distillery extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Scottish Whisky Awards for this recognition and to the loyal supporters who have embraced The Hearach. This success underscores the distillery’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its mission to celebrate the unique essence of Harris through every bottle.”
