The Hearach Oloroso
46% ABV
PEOPLE AND PLACE, WOVEN TOGETHER
The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured single malt is the second whisky expression from the island distillery that is 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.
Isle of Harris visited this historic part of world back in 2015 to begin their relationship with this highly respected family business, and have been proud to source their specially selected Oloroso butts directly from them ever since.
José y Miguel Martín's Oloroso sherry is a dry, dark and nutty fortified wine and its influence on the wood in turn imparts an unmistakably bold richness to The Hearach's spirit when the casks finally reach Harris and begin maturing their island whisky far from their original home.
