Every drop of The Hearach single malt whisky is distilled, matured, blended, married, and bottled here in the Isle of Harris and nowhere else. Our distillers and blenders are all drawn from the local community and have been trained from scratch in the craft and science of spirit-making. We have one of the youngest teams of distillers in Scotland with an average age of 25 years with the youngest Rebekah Morrison from the village of Bowglass being 21 years old.

HEAR ABOUT THE HEARACH

After the ‘First Release’ of our historic single malt whisky in September last year, we’re now almost ready to release batches 9, 10, 11, and 12 of The Hearach. Every batch is made to the same recipe. However, there will be subtle, natural variations between each which reflect the casks chosen and the length of time we ‘marry’ the vatting. Our bottles come with a special combination of letters and numbers on every stopper seal. This strip code helps you to learn more about the dram in the bottle you’ve bought or plan to buy. Simply visit our website to find the code which matches your bottle and you’ll be able to read and download an information sheet to discover the story behind your dram…
