Pairings and tasting moments

The Hearach is best enjoyed neat to reveal all its nuances, or with a dash of water to soften the peat. It pairs perfectly with a seafood platter, creamy cheese, or a fruity dessert like caramelized apple tart. It's a meditative whisky, ideal for a moment of contemplation, overlooking the sea or by the fire.

About the distillery

Isle of Harris Distillers is one of Scotland's youngest and most iconic distilleries. Founded in 2015 in Tarbert, in the heart of the Isle of Harris, it was designed to revive this remote land in the Outer Hebrides by creating local jobs and promoting artisanal expertise. Upon its opening, it became known for its Isle of Harris Gin , whose unique kelp sugar recipe was an international success. But the distillery's main objective from the start was to produce a single malt that fully embodied the island's identity: The Hearach . Located between the sea and the mountains, the distillery benefits from an exceptional environment. The salty sea air, local peat, the pure water of the island's rivers, and climatic variations directly influence the maturation of its whiskies. This interaction between nature and human know-how gives The Hearach its floral, fruity, and slightly smoky character, with subtle maritime touches. The name Hearach means "inhabitant of Harris" in Gaelic, highlighting the central role of the local community in every stage of production. Unlike some Scottish distilleries that outsource their processes, Isle of Harris Distillers is committed to distilling, aging, and bottling entirely on-site. This not only ensures exceptional quality, but also preserves a unique identity and a deep connection to the land. Today, the Isle of Harris Distillery stands as a symbol of the revival of the Outer Hebrides. With the launch of The Hearach , it marks its entry into the history of Scotch whisky and promises to write exciting new pages. It also confirms a strong trend: the return to local roots, craftsmanship, and authenticity in the world of single malt.
