Why I chose this
For me, The Hearach is the Outer Hebrides in a bottle: sea salt, honey and a wisp of smoke, no more than needed. It is the core bottling of a young distillery that has invested years of patience, and you can taste it. I like to pour it best with fresh oysters.
Frequently Asked Questions
How smoky is The Hearach?
Lightly smoky. The Hearach is lightly peated, so the smoke plays a supporting role alongside sea salt, honey and citrus. It sits in our Spicy & Lively quadrant, not under Smoky & Powerful. If you have little experience with peat, this bottle is a relaxed introduction to a maritime, lightly smoky style.
How does The Hearach differ from the First Fill Oloroso edition?
The Hearach matures in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks and is light and maritime, with sea salt, honey and gentle smoke. The First Fill Oloroso edition matured in first-fill oloroso sherry casks and is fuller, with dried fruit, clove and a salty-sweet finish. Both are bottled at 46% ABV, without chill filtration or colouring.
Does this Hearach come with a gift box?
No, this is the version without a gift box: 700 ml of The Hearach at 46% ABV, not chill-filtered and without added colouring. For your own enjoyment, that is a practical choice. If you would like to give it as a present, you can pair it with one of our whisky glasses for a personal gift.
