In this first episode of The Whiskey Wash Podcast, Mark Littler speaks with Simon Erlanger, Managing Director of the Isle of Harris Distillery. This conversation goes beyond tasting notes to explore the deeper story of how a small island distillery became a symbol of regeneration, community, and quiet determination.
We talk about:
– The origin of the distillery and its role in reversing population decline
– The challenges of building and operating in one of Scotland’s most remote regions
– How design, people and purpose shaped both the gin and whisky
– Why they chose not to release tasting notes
– Thoughts on peat, sustainability, and the future of whisky
– Perfect ways to serve Isle of Harris spirits
