WHY WE LOVE IT

What makes this shortbread stand out is its balance of tradition and quiet indulgence. It has that classic, buttery crumble you expect from proper Scottish shortbread, but the gentle whisky infusion gives it a warmth and depth that feels genuinely special — never overpowering, just enough to add character.

The Hebridean Baker team bake in small batches using time-honoured methods, and you can taste that care in the texture: crisp at first bite, soft and rich as it melts. The whisky notes are subtle — a hint of oak, a whisper of caramel — the kind of details that reward anyone who loves thoughtful, well-made food.

Across our Signature, Classic, and Celebration boxes, this shortbread brings a quietly luxurious moment. It’s the biscuit you reach for with a morning coffee or an evening dram — comforting, beautifully made, and just a little bit indulgent.

Bringing together a shared passion for all things Hebridean — and a baking heritage dating back to 1885 — The Hebridean Baker is the newest addition to the Stag Bakeries family. Together, they’ve created a special range of biscuits inspired by the warmth, tradition, and simplicity of island life.

The Hebridean Baker — Coinneach MacLeod — is an international best-selling author and TikTok star born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. His joyful celebration of Gaelic culture, rustic home baking, and the Hebridean Hygge lifestyle has inspired followers across the world to bake, forage, learn Gaelic, pour a dram, and dream of Scotland’s wild coastlines.

This partnership unites old and new — timeless craftsmanship with a modern voice sharing Hebridean heritage on a global stage.

When a heritage bakery meets a modern island icon, you get something truly special.
