Whisky - The Hearach - Isle of Harris - Single Malt

The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris, as the distillery revives the distilling traditions lost during the Pabbay clearances of the 1840s.

There are no 'official' tasting notes available!  But here are some words from a Harris Islander!

“I get a gentle peat smoke on the first sip which reminds me of island home fires burning when I was growing up. It comes along with a toasted maltiness. I can also taste homemade apple sauce and smell machair flowers, particularly white clover which springs up on our west coast every summer. Mixed spices appear, and an old-fashioned sweetness from things like candied ginger, vanilla, and honeycomb. Finally, there’s a long, clotted-cream note, mixed with a lasting sense of new leather. ”
