The new Hearach single malt bottle is just as spectacular, as is the whisky itself. Already sold out from the distillery and in the UK, the Hearach is every bit as elegant as the Harris gin and the package itself would suggest. Using water from Abhainn Cnoc a Charrain, rumored to be the softest water in all of Scotland, the maritime influence is clear with saline notes and just the slightest bit of peat coming through on the finish. Slow-distilled in copper pot stills, the final marriage incorporates both ex-Bourbon and Sherry barrels to create a crescendo of both American and Spanish oak influences on the finish. Its equal parts almonds and marzipan, with one of the most haunting finishes weve tasted in any whisky this year.
