Γ€s dΓ¨idh ochd bliadhna, tha a’ chiad uisge-beatha Γ s na Hearadh gu bhith deiseil. Eight years in the making, the final run-up to the release of Harris’ first whisky.

Ochd bliadhna bho chaidh a’ chiad spiorad a staileadh ann an Taigh-staile na Hearadh, tha sinn a’ tilleadh gus coinneachadh ri cuid dhen β€˜Tarbert Ten’ agus an luchd-obrach ΓΉra.

Anns an taigh-bathair, tha an spiorad air a bhith ag abachadh ann an casgan bΓΉrboin is seiridh, β€˜s thathas a’ coimhead air adhart ri lΓ  cur air bhog an uisge-bheatha. ThΓ¨id sinn gu taigh-fΓΉirneis ann an Leeds gus a’ chiad chruth dhen bhotal fhaicinn. Tha DΓ²mhnall gar stiΓΉireadh tro na taighean-bathair agus tha Peter ag innse mar a chaidh e bho bhith ag obair ann am bΓΉth an taigh-staile gu bhith na Mhanaidsear Leasachaidh GnΓ¬omhachas Eadar-nΓ iseanta.

Coinnichidh sinn ri Eilidh is Jillian, dithis luchd-obrach ΓΉra agus chΓ¬ sinn eagrain sΓ²nraichte dhen na botail air an lΓ¬onadh. Mu dheireadh thall, tha an lΓ  mΓ²r an seo agus tha tachartas sΓ²nraichte ann do fheadhainn le cuireadh, leis a’ chiad druthag laghail de dh’uisge-beatha sna Hearadh ga reic a lΓ rna-mhΓ ireach.
Eight years since the first spirit was distilled at the Harris Distillery, we return to catch up with a few of the original β€œTarbert Ten” employees, and some of the thirty new employees.

In the warehouse, the spirit has been maturing in Bourbon and Sherry casks, and the countdown has begun to the long-anticipated release day. We go to a foundry in Leeds to see the design and first production run of the bottle.

DΓ²mhnall guides us through the warehouses and Peter tells us how he progressed from working in the distillery shop to becoming International Business Development Manager. We meet Eilidh and Jillian, both new employees and see the special edition bottles being filled. Finally, on the launch day there is an invitation only event and ceilidh, followed the next morning by the first sales of legal whisky on the Isle of Harris
