Isle Of Harris The Hearach 46% 6 CL Sample

Isle of Harris Distillery The Hearach Whisky

Hearach is the Isle of Harris's first historic single malt whisky, reviving distilling traditions lost during the Pabbay Clearances of the 1840s.

This dram is the result of a thoughtful conversation between person and venue, and the two come together to create an elegant spirit with complexity and character.

The work of the island's men and women is intimately intertwined with the natural world and together the two weave a distinctive whiskey from the Outer Hebrides.

Every drop of this new dram is distilled by locals to produce a special whiskey that is matured, “married” and bottled in this elemental place and nowhere else.

The Hearach is bottled at 46% alc, non-chill filtered and free of artificial colours.

HE 00005 23: Tasting notes

“I'm taken back to the local Harris pubs of my younger years. I loved the 'yarns' (stories) and the craziness of the older boys, all the bodachs (old men) and different characters. I have a real sweet tooth so I get a lot of sweet notes and can remember the smells and sounds of the old mobile vans that used to pass through the villages here. Adding a small drop of water really opens up the whiskey and allows me to bring out more of the flavor of the peat. It has a bit of tobacco in it that reminds me of an old man we inherited our farm from. Who had a hard kind of tobacco that he shaved with a knife for his pipe. There is a long finish and a buttery creaminess. It's a fantastic dram”
