The Hearach is the first historic single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris distillery.
It was matured in ex-Heaven Hill casks (21%), ex-Buffalo Trace casks (64%), ex-Oloroso casks (11%), and ex-Fino casks (4%).
The Isle of Harris Distillery, in the small village of Tarbert, describes itself as a 'social distillery' and was founded to strengthen the local economy.
It is the first (legal) distillery on the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides and produces Harris Gin as well as The Hearach Whisky. The whisky is distilled from Scottish Concerto barley, peated at 14.1 phenol parts per million (PPM).
Nose: An immediate maltiness grabs the attention. The slightly smoky barley husks stand out, but also orris root and plaster. Then a touch of lime, crushed mint leaves and pear skin. Finally, a whisper of tobacco.
Palate: Pleasant creamy texture. There’s some liquorice and touches of peach with apple parts. The cereal influence is also present. It’s sweet with a sliver of smoke. A gentle note of eucalyptus alongside a pinch of white pepper.
Finish: Medium length. Notes of barley and subtle peat linger. A hint of green olives.
