Isle of Harris Distillers

The Hearach First Fill Oloroso Cask Batch 4

£75.00

Each batch has a consistent flavour profile but with subtle natural variation due to individual choice of casks and differing 'marrying' periods

The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured single malt is the second whisky expression from our island distillery and the Isle of Harris. 

In the far south-western corner of Spain lies the ancient region of Andalusia. Here among hot and dusty hills, the men and women of sherry-makers José y Miguel Martín ‘cooper’ casks with age-old craft and care before they are filled by their wineries in Jerez.

We first visited this historic part of world back in 2015 to begin our relationship with this highly respected family business, and have been proud to source our specially selected Oloroso butts directly from them ever since.

Their Oloroso sherry is a dry, dark and nutty fortified wine and its influence on the wood in turn imparts an unmistakably bold richness  to our spirit when the casks finally reach Harris and begin maturing our island whisky far from their original home.

700ml / 46% ABV

Non-chill filtered / No artificial colouring. 

OL 00004 24: Tasting Notes

I get slight aromas of spices on the nose, especially cinnamon, which immediately reminds me of Christmas time. When I drink it, I get some sweet honey notes and caramel flavours come through, particularly sticky toffee pudding which brings memories from my school days. Then there’s a slight peppery note after that, followed by stewed fruits and finally anice long finish with hints of mint and chocolate. It’s a really lovely dram and I love how complex it all is. A great addition to The Hearach whisky-making.”
