Journal day has conveniently landed on a very special day indeed. Today we celebrate our very own Co-Owner & Managing Director’s Birthday. As a celebration, this week’s journal is dedicated to the one and only Michael Morrison!
The Isle of Barra Distillers Ltd story begins only as far back as 2016. Born for a desire to move home to the Outer Hebrides in the far North West of Scotland, and build something that will evoke the community spirit, our founders Kate and Michael Morrison started developing the plans for a Gin and Whisky Distillery.
Today, we celebrate a very special day indeed, a day spent honouring our mothers and mother figures. A day to show thanks and appreciation to those special to us. A day to enjoy together, with our families...
We’ve been growing our Click & Collect locations around the UK and are delighted to bring collaborations with a great deal of independent local businesses...

As we continue to grow and progress on our journey of distilling on the edge, we are always delighted to be working with like-minded and independent companies similar to us. This week we’d love to share with you, our collaboration with Salar Smokehouse on our neighbouring Isle of South Uist.
Established by the Gin Cooperative, International Scottish Gin Day is a celebration of all the incredible gin’s we have here in Scotland. This year’s celebration takes place on Saturday 24 October and we couldn’t be more excited.
Our Barra Atlantic Gin has our Island home and surroundings running right through it. From our branding to the taste of our Island Spirit we are all about the adventure of distilling on the edge. We’re extremely excited to be working with a fellow Island brand that’s just as passionate as we are about our own products. We are of course referring to ishga skincare.
As a small family run business, we are always aiming high, working hard and setting goals in order to progress and develop further, not only as a business but also as a team. Today we are delighted to welcome our newest addition to the Isle of Barra Distillers family!

This wasn’t just any old weekend, Saturday 13th June officially marked World Gin Day. Now if that isn’t a good enough reason to pour yourself a refreshing G&T then I don’t know what is. It is the weekend after all and well a Saturday without Gin should be illegal!
The Barra Atlantic Gin is the first spirit released from the Isle of Barra Distillers and is also the first spirit to be distilled right here on the Island of Barra.
The hot climate, blue skies and blazing sunshine has appeared in Scotland, right on time for us to be able to visit our loved ones safely in the garden at a distance. How perfect is this? Summer has arrived, thankfully!
The Isle of Barra is undoubtedly an island of paradise, from it’s deep blue surrounding sea to its vibrant green land and tropical white sandy beaches, it really does have it all! It’s often hard to believe that our hidden gem of a home is part of Scotland for many people.
We have just had the Spring tide we were waiting for enabling us to take to the rocky shores of Barra to collect our key botanical, Carrageen Seaweed by hand. When the tides are at their lowest, we find our delicate but at times very illusive Carrageen.
We’re doing all we can to send a little bit of Barra to you in the form of our Barra Atlantic Gin. And digitally we’re portraying virtual snippets of Island Life here on the Isle of Barra in the form of photographs and videos throughout our social media platform, just as a little extra for you to enjoy at home.
How are you all keeping? We’re all very well and safe here on the Isle of Barra and whilst lockdown has continued, we realise more and more each day that social distancing and isolating is something we have been doing unknowingly for all our lives on our Island.
Our bottle of Island Spirit makes a fair journey from Scotland’s most westerly Distillery to your home in the UK or Abroad. It’s safe to say our Barra Atlantic Gin is a high flyer and enjoys a cruise of the Western Isles before embarking on its journey across the mainland to reach your home!
