Isle of Harris The Hearach (700ml)

The debut single malt from Isle of Harris Distillery, The Hearach is already showing impressive finesse. The nose opens with sweet maltiness, barley husks, lime peel and a gentle whiff of smoke, alongside subtle notes of mint and pear skin. The palate is creamy and textured, unfolding with liquorice, orchard fruits and a delicate seam of smoke. Finishing medium in length with barley, soft peat and a touch of green olive, this is a confident, elegant first release that promises great things for the distillery’s future.
