Product details
The Hearach Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the inaugural whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillery, marking a historic revival of distilling traditions on this remote Scottish island. Established in 2015, the distillery is deeply rooted in the local community, with every drop of The Hearach crafted by island residents. This single malt embodies the unique character of the Outer Hebrides, utilizing soft Hebridean waters from Abhainn Cnoc a’ Charrain and 100% Scottish Concerto barley. The whisky undergoes a meticulous maturation process in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks, Oloroso, and Fino sherry butts, resulting in a spirit that reflects both the natural environment and the dedication of its makers.
On the nose, The Hearach offers delicate aromas of beach bonfires, orchard fruits, ginger, vanilla, and floral honey. The palate reveals notes of Scottish tablet, apples, nutty malt, clotted cream, and gentle peat smoke, leading to a bright and delicately smoky finish. This harmonious profile makes it an excellent companion to a variety of dishes, particularly those featuring smoked salmon, aged cheeses, or rich, savory meats. Serving it neat or with a splash of water allows the intricate flavors to unfold fully, providing a truly immersive tasting experience that captures the essence of the Isle of Harris.
