The Hearach Single Malt Batch 14
The Tasting Notes
There’s a familiar sweetness on the nose, it reminds me of my Granny in Scalpay’s sweetie tin, with aromas of pear drops and caramel. I smell the sea, like the mist from waves splashing at Luskentyre and Horgabost machair, with honey and floral notes too.
I taste a slight spicy, woodiness, my Dad’s cigars, and spiced cinnamon. There’s a light peatiness, like walking through Scalpay villages in Autumn. A drop of water brings out the smoke, reminding me of camping trips with friends in Northton, and more swe
The finish is punchy, with spice and hazelnuts. It’s a lovely dram.
Details
Each batch has natural variation due to individual choice of casks and differing 'marrying' periods.
The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from their island distillery and the Isle of Harris. Like the iconic Harris Tweed cloth created there for generations, our first historic whisky is woven from the hands of island people and the place they 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. their recipe uses spirit matured in ex-bourbon casks, oloroso and fino butts.
Non-chill filtered / No artificial colouring.
