The Hearach 1st Release Batch 6 is a historic single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillers Ltd, located on a small outer Hebridean island off the north-western coast of Scotland. This whisky marks a significant revival of the distilling culture that was lost on the island in the 1840s. The name "Hearach" means "native of Harris" in Scots Gaelic, emphasizing its deep connection to the local heritage. Crafted from a combination of whisky spirit drawn from American oak first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and European oak ex-Oloroso and ex-Fino butts, it offers a unique blend of flavors. Matured for a minimum of five years in a mix of first-fill ex-bourbon casks and Oloroso and Fino sherry butts, this whisky is lightly peated at 12-15ppm. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is presented without chill filtration and at its natural color, ensuring a pure and authentic tasting experience. The complete production of The Hearach took place on the Isle of Harris, with the whisky being matured and married in oak casks following maturation. Each batch is released in around 13,000 bottles, and this particular batch consists of 12,026 bottles. The Hearach offers a complex sensory experience. The aroma presents mild peat smoke, wildflowers, toasted malt, and honeysuckle. On the palate, it begins oily and mild, with initial peaty notes followed by sherry-fruity flavors and a hint of astringent ginger. The finish is smoky, fruity, and slightly dry, leaving a very pleasant aftertaste.
The Hearach 1st Release Batch 6 is unique due to its blend of whisky spirit from American oak first-fill ex-bourbon barrels and European oak ex-Oloroso and ex-Fino butts. It is also the first legal dram from the Isle of Harris distillery, reviving a distilling culture lost since the 1840s.
