The Harris Journal: Whisky Awards And More News From Harris… – Scotch Whisky News


It’s hard to believe we’ve only been sharing our first single malt for eight short months. Since late September last year, we’ve been busy bringing beautiful bottles of The Hearach to whisky lovers around the world and we could not have asked for a more positive reception.
We’ve received no end of nice words from discerning drinkers and amateur drammers alike, and the world of whisky experts have been generous in their praise in no short measure either. We’re also proud to already be collecting global awards for both the taste of our single malt and the packaging it is presented in.
With Golds and Silvers already in from London, Berlin, San Francisco and other international competitions, it seems like our first Harris whisky is a winner. We now only have Batches 11 and 12 available in our UK online store, with the first ten batches sold out on our website.
But, never fear, our network of specialist spirits retailers and stockists can hopefully help you get hold of what you need. Or, why not come to Harris and safely procure your spirit straight from the source?
A sincere thank you to everyone who has enjoyed our whisky so far, we trust your support has been well rewarded with every pour! From all the team here in Harris, slàinte mhath…
Le gach deagh dhùrachd,

SECURE A BOTTLE OF THE HEARACH
Bottles of The Hearach single malt whisky are presented in four different boxes, each featuring its own combination of photographic portraits. The word ‘Hearach’ means a native of Harris in Gaelic, so it was only right that we turned our lens upon our fellow islanders to capture the character of our local community.
Over the coming weeks and months we’ll be introducing them to you here in the Journal and on our social media channels, and sharing a little of their story. There are nineteen men and women in total, and together they’ve helped us embody the best of what it means to be a Hearach…
