The Hearach Oloroso Cask Matured

Description

Each batch has 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.
