Isle of Harris - The Hearach
Isle of Harris
Tasting Notes
The Hearach, a captivating single malt whisky born on the breathtaking Isle of Harris, unveils a tapestry of flavors woven from the island's natural wonders. Crafted with utmost care using soft Outer Hebridean waters that flow over ancient rocks and lightly peated Scottish barley harvested by hand, this whisky embodies the essence of Harris. The unhurried fermentation and maturation in a harmonious trio of casks – Fino butts, first-fill bourbon, and oloroso sherry – impart a delightfully complex character. On the nose, it entices with notes of bonfires on Nose Beach, orchard fruits, ginger, vanilla, and floral honey. The palate delights with flavors reminiscent of Scottish tablet, apples, nutty malt, clotted cream, and a gentle caress of peat smoke. The finish is bright and delicately smoky, leaving a lasting impression that captures the spirit of the island's unique climate. Bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration or added coloring, The Hearach is a true celebration of Harris's heritage and natural wonders.
