The Hearach Isle of Harris Single Malt 46% 70cl

The first legal single malt whisky to be produced on the Isle of Harris, and the first core release from the distillery. The cask make-up combines spirit matured in ex-bourbon (Heaven Hill & Buffalo Trace) casks, oloroso and fino butts. Everything is in its natural colour and bottled without chill-filtration.

Official Tasting Notes

by Lauren Macsween, Scalpay, Isle of Harris “There’s toffee and caramel notes on the nose, like ‘Werther’s Original’ sweets. It also smells fresh and green to me. There’s a slight smokiness, reminding me of the trees behind my Granny’s old house which fell in an island storm, and we used the logs for firewood. When I sip it, there’s a nice pepperiness and kick of spice, and more green apple freshness. The smoke comes back if you leave it a while and the flavours are always changing. It’s subtle and light, but there’s a lot going on in the glass.”
