Barra Atlantic Gin 5cl
This award-winning island spirit is distilled, bottled, and labelled on the Isle of Barra. Created with 17 carefully selected botanicals, it is the Carrageen Seaweed that makes this gin stand out. Each piece of this key botanical is hand-picked from the shores surrounding the distillery's Island home, creating a bold flavour rich in maritime notes, just like the Island itself.

Isle of Barra Distillers
Standing out in the Atlantic on the far western edge of Scotland, you’ll find Barra Distillery.
The Isle of Barra is undoubtedly an island of paradise; from its deep blue sea to its vibrant green land and tropical, white sandy beaches, it really does have it all! This beautiful surrounding inspired Katie and Michael Morrison to create the award-winning Barra Atlantic Gin, and now the Island Dark Rum.
"Our goal is to create something that not only we can be proud of, but the whole of the Isle of Barra can be proud of. The people of Barra are at the forefront of what we do." - Barra Distillery
How It's Made
Barra Atlantic Gin begins its journey being Distilled in the distillery's custom-built copper still "Ada", named after the co-founder's daughter and handcrafted by the world-leading Forsyth's from Rothes in Scotland.
Their distillation method is vapour infused, meaning the botanicals rest on two baskets within the copper still, and as the spirit begins to reach optimum temperature, the vapour that is carried through passes by their complex mix of 17 botanicals, all weighed to the exact gram beforehand. As the vapour passes, it softens the botanicals and collects the essential oils, then continues through the still and eventually becomes the award-winning Barra Atlantic Gin.
Once the distillation run is complete, they leave the spirit to settle for seven full days and allow the flavours to grow. This adds to the distinctive taste of their Barra Atlantic Gin. From there, they label, bottle, and ship this award-winning gin from their Family Distillery on the Isle of Barra, a labour of love.
