Description

The Hearach First Release Batch #4 is the inaugural single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris Distillery, established in 2015. This lightly peated Scotch whisky is matured for a minimum of five years in a combination of first-fill ex-bourbon barrels, Oloroso, and Fino sherry butts. Bottled at 46% ABV, it is non-chill filtered and has no artificial coloring. Each batch, including this limited release of 11,545 bottles, showcases subtle variations while maintaining the distillery's rich, balanced island style.
