The Hearach Oloroso Cask: the new release of the first historic Single Malt from the Isle of Harris

The Hearach Oloroso Cask is the latest release from the Isle Of Harris distillery. Here, the Single Malt produced and distilled in Italian-made stills is carefully crafted in small batches by residents of the island, which has the water famous for being the softest in Scotland.

This whisky is matured in Jerez in ex-Sherry Oloroso casks from the ancient province of Huelva, where coopers José y Miguel Martín live.

Wintery hints of cinnamon, orange peel and cloves immediately emerge on the nose, followed by herbs and white chocolate. The palate is rich with notes of nuts, wood smoke, thyme, dried oranges, which blend harmoniously with vanilla and cloves, with a lingering finish of leather and liquorice.
