Isle of Harris The Hearach Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

The Hearach Isle of Harris Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46% vol. 0.7 l + GB is the first historic single malt from the Isle of Harris Distillery, which is deeply rooted in the traditions and community of the Outer Hebrides. The name ‘The Hearach’ refers to the people of the Isle of Harris and signifies that this whisky is not merely a product, but a cultural legacy. Like the famous Harris Tweed, this whisky is the result of artisanal precision, knowledge passed down through generations and the island’s unique landscape. Each batch embodies the distillery’s characteristic, balanced island style, whilst exhibiting subtle natural variations resulting from individual casks and varying blending times. The recipe is based on a combination of ex-bourbon casks, Oloroso and Fino sherry butts, which lend the single malt depth, floral finesse and a gentle aroma characterised by maritime influences. Delicately balanced smoke, warm spices, fruity Elements and a creamy mouthfeel shape the elegant character of this whisky. Every drop is produced entirely on Harris, creating an authentic reflection of the island’s culture. Although the standard bottling is now supplied without a gift box, this version comes with a gift box that emphasises its elegant presentation. The whisky is complex, well-balanced and long-lasting – an expression of the close connection between the people and the landscape from which it originates.

Tasting Note

Colour: Light to medium gold. Nose: Delicate smoky notes, floral hints and soft malty aromas. Palate: Light island smoke, roasted malt, apple compote, spices, candied ginger, vanilla and honeycomb. Finish: Lang, creamy and smooth, with hints of cream and gentle leathery notes. This single malt pairs superbly with mild blue cheese, apple and almond pastries, or creamy desserts that elegantly complement its soft, spicy and smoky notes. Dark chocolate with hints of honey or toffee is also an ideal accompaniment. When enjoyed neat, The Hearach reveals its finely balanced texture with particular clarity; a small splash of water releases additional floral and fruity Elements. It is equally well suited as a contemplative treat for quiet evenings, when its lingering elegance and complex character come into their own.
