Vintage:	1999
Winery:	Isle Of Harris
Description:	This is the 2nd release. The exceptional distillery on the far flung Isle of Harris has finally released their single malt. The ‘social distillery' is a true island distillery, run by the local community for the local community. All the cows on Harris are fed for free on the distillery's draff; work experience placements are offered to school children during the summer; local artists' work feature within its walls and the visitor center plays home to book readings. The only style of whisky fit for a distillery like this is a complex island malt, lightly peated with additional layers of flavor from a cloudy wort and long fermentations. Maturation takes place completely on the island, predominantly in ex-Bourbon casks with some oloroso Sherry butts. The single malt is bottled as The Hearach (a Harris islander) is be full-bodied, fruity and with a touch of that salty, windswept Hebridean character island malts are famous for.
