This isn’t your average single malt whisky. The Hearach of Château Biac is a limited release made in partnership with winemakers from Château Biac in Bordeaux. Entirely matured in French oak barrels, this expression is a memorable non-chilled filtered,100-proof whisky that (according to the brand) begins with a lightly peated backbone as well as sweet wine, green leaves, tomatoes, ripe pears, dark plums, cherries, lemons, lime, jasmine, spice, vanilla, ripe fruit, and new leather.

“After years of waiting, it’s finally time to share this limited expression of The Hearach with the world,” said Simon Erlanger, Managing Director at Isle of Harris Distillery. “The Hearach of Château Biac is truly unique, not only because of the flavors developed through aging in sweet white wine casks, but through the friendship that it represents, tying our remote island with the beautiful estate that Tony and Youmna have restored in Bordeaux.”.
