Harris ~ The Hearach, 46%

Another whisky with a much anticipated release is now here, The Hearach from The Isle of Harris.

A Hearach is a native of Harris, an island that hasn’t seen a legally distilled whisky since the mid-1800s, and here we are complaining about having to wait a couple of years. Made famous by their gin, for good reason too, the new single malt release sits in as stunning a bottle with a very detailed and methodical approach to its transparency and its story of Harris and its Hearachs.

Matured in bourbon, sherry, and fino sherry casks, peated between 12-14ppm, with no added colour and non-chill filtered, it’s everything we could ever want, right Well, during that wait, there have been some rather good releases of whisky, but, and it’s important, this whisky is about more than taste, initially anyway, it’s about progress.

Mark’s Whisky Ramblings 507: Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition

Mark Dermul, Belgian whiskyblogger, tries a special American whiskey. A limited edition from Kentucky Owl, blended by a Japanese Master Blender… That’s unique to say the least. And lo and behold, the bourbon is quite kaizen indeed… Shot on top of the Mont Saint Michel in France. Enjoy!

RoseIsle 12YO

A long time coming, the first single malt release from The RoseIsle Distillery!

Boasting a 12.5,000,000 litre capacity and being used as a blending distillery for Diageo, RoseIsle has been sat in the background while crazy things have happened in the whisky industry. Now it arrives with a rather wonderful twelve-year-old single malt with a rather surprising flavour profile.

You’ll have to go and check out the video for more detail on the smells and flavours, but it’s really worth sitting back and enjoying this liquid as it could be a long time before we see another release.

The Diageo Special Releases used to be fun, the last few years have been very stagnant and tedious. However, this is a small shining light that things could get better…we hope. We pray.
