This exceptional release captures the essence of time, craftsmanship, and the unique terroir of Islay, offering a rare glimpse into the distillery's maturation mastery.

Pouring a captivating golden hue, this limited edition whisky invites you into a world of complexity and depth.

Delicate notes of brine, maritime air, and a subtle interplay of citrus and oak weave together, creating an olfactory experience that hints at the whisky's long and storied maturation.

On the palate, savor the rich and robust flavors that have developed over 16 years of careful aging. The peat smoke takes center stage, enveloping the palate in a warm embrace, while layers of complexity unfold. Revel in the interplay of sweet malt, hints of dried fruits, and the gentle warmth of oak, creating a tasting experience that is both bold and refined.

From the producer: "The Hearach is the first, historic single malt whisky from the Isle of Harris, as we revive the distilling traditions lost during the Pabbay clearances of the 1840s. Our dram is the result of a considered conversation between people and place, coming together to create an elegant spirit of complexity and character. The work of our island's men and women intertwines with the natural world to weave together an Outer Hebridean whisky of distinction. Every drop of this new dram is being distilled by local people to produce a special spirit which has been matured, married, and bottled here in this elemental place, and nowhere else. The Hearach is bottled at 46% abv, non-chill filtered, and free from artificial colouring."

From the bottler:

This venerable whiskey is reminiscent of the Springbank 25 year olds of the early 1990s, and so we believe the cask is one seasoned in the old style, a rare find in today’s market. Characteristic of Campbeltown whiskeys, salt dominates on the nose, followed closely by the rich fruitiness notable in Springbank whiskey, offering up dried apricots and spiced pear. Peaty notes creep up slowly, as the coastal style makes an impact with smoky, chocolate rich notes on the palate. A rich, oily middle and a long finish, the richness complemented by lighter lemon notes and barley sugar.

Producer: Pokeno Discovery celebrates our unique place in the world. First we carefully select and blend parcels of stock which have been fully matured in first fill bourbon, Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Casks. We then lay these back down in cask to allow them to marry perfectly together. It is a rich and complex whisky, with beautiful notes of dark chocolate, black forest gateau, ripe cherries and sweet citrus, giving way to a rich, smooth and incredibly long finish.

Producer: Pokeno Origin celebrates our unique place in the world. Produced from the finest local barley, and unrushed through fermentation and distillation to enhance body and flavour, we mature it only in first fill bourbon casks. It is an incredibly sweet and round whisky, with beautiful citrus, honey, grapefruit and creamy toffee notes, giving way to a complex and lingering finish.

Produced in Northern Ireland, Bushmills carries a legacy dating back centuries and is distilled from 100% malted barley using traditional triple distillation. This 12-year-old expression is matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks and then finished in Marsala wine casks, resulting in a whiskey that blends heritage and innovation.

Tasting Note:
The nose opens with dried fruits, honeyed sweetness and toasted nuts. On the palate you’ll find butterscotch, milk chocolate, toasted almonds and subtle vanilla layered over fruit such as apricot and pear. The finish is smooth and satisfying with a touch of oak spice and lingering nutty warmth.

Gift set with two Glencairn style tasting glasses

Tropical and mature, with the texture of melted chocolate and one of the finest finishes a single malt can bring, this stunning whisky calls for quiet admiration. Round and velvety, yet developed and fresh. Smoothed over by time, but with a beating heart.

Leatherwood honey and spicy gingerbread followed by juicy prunes and fresh lemon peel on the nose followed by a palate bursting with dark chocolate, tropical fruit and spices. Long and mellow on the finish with notes of creamy vanilla and citrus.
