The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from our island distillery and the Isle of Harris. Like the iconic Harris Tweed cloth created here for generations, our first historic whisky is woven from the hands of island people and the place we call home, intimately intertwining to produce an elegant spirit of complexity and character. This special connection between people and place continues to this day with every drop of The Hearach created by Isle of Harris hands here in the Outer Hebrides. Our recipe uses spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks, oloroso and fino butts.

HE 00013 24: Tasting Notes

I get aromas of fresh cut grass and then the smoke from a garden bonfire. There’s a sweetness like fresh fruit salad topped with condensed milk. Then I’m reminded of early October-time and preparing ingredients for our Christmas cake and mincemeat. The first sip is very light, well-rounded, with great mouthfeel, and a slight saltiness on the lips. There’s a nice bit of ‘zing’ and those fruit flavours again, with a hint of butterscotch. The finish is long and lingers nicely. It’s what a Harris dram should be…”
