The Hearach 1st Release Batch 2 is a historic single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd, representing the first legal whisky from the Outer-Hebridean island of Harris since the 1840s. This remarkable whisky is inspired by the distillery's home on the island, reviving a long-lost distilling culture. Named after the native Scots Gaelic name for Harris, The Hearach is a lightly peated dram, embodying the spirit and heritage of its origin. Crafted using soft Hebridean waters from the Abhainn Cnoc a'Charrain, which traverses some of the oldest rocks on earth, The Hearach 1st Release Batch 2 uses 100% Scottish Concerto barley, lightly peated at 12-15ppm with peat hand-cut from 'Cleite Mhor' in South Harris. This whisky has been matured for a minimum of five years in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon casks, Oloroso, and Fino sherry butts, resulting in a complex and multi-layered flavor profile. Bottled at 46% ABV, The Hearach is free from chill filtration and presented at its natural color, ensuring an authentic and pure tasting experience. Released in batches of around 13,000 bottles, each vatting of casks is married in oak following maturation to ensure consistency and quality. This release, Batch 2, consists of 12,296 bottles, making it a rare and sought-after addition to any whisky collection. The whisky is characterized by its fruity, floral, and sweet-spicy notes, with a gentle hint of peat smoke that lingers throughout.
