About Isle of Harris Distillery
“Isle of Harris Distillery is a Scotch whisky and gin distillery in Tarbert on the Isle of Harris, Scotland. The distillery was the first legal distillery ever built on Harris.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 163.403 means cask 403 from distillery 163. That distillery is Isle of Harris Distillery, in Islands. More on Isle of Harris Distillery at Wikipedia.
