Harris Distillery has released this Lightly Peated Single Malt.
Ex-Bourbon casks, Oloroso and Fino Butts. Non-Chill Filtered and No added colour.
From the Harris Distillery the Hearach is a complex, elegant, and full of character, inaugural expression.
A delicious dram which unfolds in your glass, revealing itself over time, just like the island itself.
Made to their carefully refined blenders' recipe, they combine spirits which have been matured by the coastal village of Ardhasaig in selected first fill Ex-Bourbon casks, first fill Ex-Oloroso and Fino sherry butts.
They then marry these spirits in batches for a minimum of 12 weeks to bring additional harmony to the final dram. The result is an Outer Hebridean single malt of distinction.
Tasting Notes: Peat smoke, apple sauce, toasted malt, wildflowers, spice, candied sweets and clotted cream.
