Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
golden, which is comforting to see
air Nose
it’s like the classic Hearach but draped in a layer of dark chocolate and a drizzle of walnut wine, with a whiff of Italian bitters—Cynar, Amaro, that sort of thing. Wonderfully done here; it lends a touch of wildness, even a faintly gamey side (wild boar terrine, if you like). Is there wild boar on Harris?
restaurant Palate
the same sentiments carry through. Think of the standard Hearach with an extra helping of chilli-spiked chocolate and walnut wine. A subtle mustardy note emerges, always underpinned by that saline quality, and dare I say, it feels even more ‘Fort William’ than its elder sibling. Hints of tar, carbon, motor oil, and a smudge of pencil eraser kind of round things out
timer Finish
much the same story, with a cracking dryness. Chilli and stout linger in the aftertaste
