Isle of Harris Gin is the perfect Christmas tipple

It's the perfect festive tipple, for gifting or savouring this Christmas.

A true taste of the Scottish isles.

Distilled and bottled in the delightful Scottish Hebridean seaside village of Tarbert, Isle of Harris Distillery has developed a spirit that really celebrates its heritage in every single drop. 

As the key botanical, Sugar Kelp seaweed, only hand harvested from local sea-lochs, creates dry maritime notes which are softened by the fresh rainwaters which flow from the nearby stream, Abhainn Cnoc a ’Charrain. 

Its iconic bottle and taste is what makes Harris Gin so very special, and gives the drinker a true ‘from the sea’ experience.

You can currently find Isle of Harris Gin at selected UK stockists and The Online Isle of Harris Gin Shop. A 700ml bottle retails for £43.00 and Isle of Harris products are shipped within the UK at no extra cost. 

It's the ideal Christmas gift for any gin lover, Isle of Harris Distillers offer gift sets priced from £70.00 to £92.00, complete with 700ml bottle plus two glasses (Copa de Balon, highball or Harris serve tumbler as options) as well as the ultimate gift from Harris, the iconic bottle, 2x Harris serve glasses and Sugar Kelp Aromatic Water. 

Each gift set is tucked beneath a beautiful debossed lid, made from natural card stock and flecked with copper and sugar kelp flakes, and includes a special hi-resolution photographic print of Harris’ shores by local man Iain Angus Macleod, botanical information, special cocktail recipes and tasting notes, finished with a unique, handwritten card.

The ultimate glassware

Whether you’re buying for a drinks enthusiast, a homeware lover, or a loved one who has an eye for design, give them the gift of Harris this Christmas with its range of beautiful glassware. 

Priced from £28.00 to £30.00, you can choose from a twin set of Harris Serve glasses, highballs or Copa de Balon complete with perfect serves and presented in a completely recyclable and sustainably produced gift box – Harris’ greenest gift sets to date. 

(And ideal for self-gifting, too, dare we at That's Christmas suggest? Go on! You know you are worth it!)

How to make sure you have a great Christmas without breaking the bank

How to make sure you have a great Christmas without breaking the bank?

Make a list of every item of food and drink that you will need for your Christmas feasting and dining.

And every time you go food shopping between now and Christmas buy one of those items and tick it off your list and place the food and drink items that you are amassing in your pantry, in a large box, etc. But do check that the use by date isn't before Christmas.

But do make sure that everyone in your household know that those items are not to be eaten or drunk before Christmas.

And as for presents and gifts, why not try your hand at crafting and making very special Christmas presents for family members and friends? 

You can even buy a modestly priced wicker hampers from The Works https://www.theworks.co.uk and fill them up with goodies! These make excellent presents and leaves the lucky recipient with a very useful wicker basket, too!
