Isle of Harris Distillery: The Hearach Single Malt Whisky 70cl

Description Available In Store Only.  Batch No 11 TASTING NOTES MEMORY AND IMAGINATION Our whisky is a Harris whisky, and we do not seek to emulate other drams or regions. The elegant flavours of our whisky will be perceived differently by different people as they allow the complex character of our dram to unfold in their glass over time. So, we won’t issue any ‘official’ tasting notes and instead encourage folk to explore the scents and sensory experience of The Hearach single malt from a more personal point of view. Instead, each batch will come with some simple words written by someone from our local community as they enjoy a glass and delve a little deeper into their island memoriesand imagination, to help things along. | “ 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. ”  Shona Macleod, Carragreich, Isle of Harris.
