Isle of Harris The Hearach Batch #4 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Product description

Each batch has natural variation due to individual choice of casks and differing 'marrying' periods.

The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from our island distillery and the Isle of Harris. Like the iconic Harris Tweed cloth created here for generations, our first historic whisky is woven from the hands of island people and the place we call home, intimately intertwining to produce an elegant spirit of complexity and character. This special connection between people and place continues to this day with every drop of The Hearach created by Isle of Harris hands here in the Outer Hebrides. Our recipe uses spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks, oloroso and fino butts.

Non-chill filtered / No artificial colouring. 

TASTING NOTES:

“There are so many complex layers of flavour, and it will be different for everyone. But, I get a gentle peat smoke on the first sip which reminds me of island home fires burning when I was growing up. It comes along with a toasted maltiness. I can also taste homemade apple sauce and smell machair flowers, particularly white clover which springs up on our west coast every summer. Mixed spices
appear, and an old-fashioned sweetness from things like candied ginger, vanilla, and honeycomb. Finally, there’s a long, clotted-cream note, mixed with a lasting sense of new leather.” -  SHONA MACLEOD, CARRAGREICH, ISLE OF HARRIS.
