The Hearach Isle of Harris First Release - Batch 5

This first release single malt introduced by the Isle of Harris distillery underwent complete production on the island and was matured in first-fill ex-bourbon, ex-oloroso, and ex-fino sherry casks. A mild peat smoke is evident in the aroma, accompanied by additional scents of wildflowers, toasted malt, and honeysuckle. The palate reveals notes of leather, meringue, and ginger.

The Hearach represents a significant milestone for the island distillery and the Isle of Harris as a whole.
