Isle of Harris Distillers is planning more international growth after securing a £10m funding package from HSBC UK.
The company says the funding will be used to expand the distribution of Isle of Harris Gin and, when launched, its Hearach malt whisky to more than 20 international markets including the USA, Canada, France and Germany.
The distillery is also using the funding to build two new warehouses, two miles from its Tarbert distillery on the Isle of Harris. The extra 2,000 sq m of warehouse space will hold 9,000 casks - equivalent to some 2.75m bottles of spirits.
