Founded as a business in 2007 by Anderson ‘Burr’ Bakewell, the Isle of Harris Distillery, situated in the capital town of Tarbert, didn’t officially open until September 2015, and a few weeks later their first product, a soft gin in a highly distinctive bottle, was launched to the public. Bakewell, an Anglo-American musicologist, cares deeply about the island and the venture aims to not only provide long term employment opportunities but also provide a focal point for the local population to rally around - it has often been dubbed a ‘social distillery’ with spirit made for the community, by the community. Simon Erlanger, who had previously worked with Diageo and Glenmorangie, was brought on board as Managing Director to lead the operation.
‘Hearach’ translates from Scottish Gaelic as ‘a Harris islander’ and is the first Single Malt whisky release from the distillery. 100% Scottish barley is used and 8 batches have been released in quantities of around 13,000 bottles each, with the marriage of casks being overseen by chief blender and Hearach Shona MacLeod, who herself is mentored by Dr Gordon Steele, well-known within the industry for his expertise on flavour profiling.
The whisky is a minimum of 4 years old and maturation takes place in a combination of first-fill ex-Bourbon casks sourced from Buffalo Trace and Heaven Hill alongside ex-Oloroso and ex-Fino Sherry barrels. A small amount of peated barley is also used to introduce a slightly smoky element, with a phenol level of around 12 to 15 PPM. Isle of Harris The Hearach has no colour added and no chill-filtration takes place, and it is bottled at 46% ABV.
