Isle of Harris 'The Hearach' Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Complex, elegant, and full of character, our inaugural expression is a delicious dram which unfolds in your glass, revealing itself over time, just like the island itself.

Made to our carefully refined blenders' recipe, we combine spirits which have been matured by the coastal village of Ardhasaig in selected first fill Ex-Bourbon casks, first fill Ex-Oloroso and Fino sherry butts.

We then marry these spirits in batches for a minimum of 12 weeks to bring additional harmony to the final dram.

The result is an Outer Hebridean single malt of distinction we're proud to bottle and bear our elemental island's name.

Enjoy neat, with a small drop of water, or simply any way you like it...

COMPLEX, ELEGANT, AND FULL OF CHARACTER

We encourage you to explore the scents and sensory experience of The Hearach single malt from a personal point of view but to help things along, here's our Head Blender's official tasting notes...

“ 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. ”
