New Outer Hebrides Whisky On The Way

There’s a new single malt whisky sheriff in town – or rather, the Outer Hebrides in Scotland – and its name is Hearach. That will be the name of the new single malt whisky produced from the new distillery being built on the Outer Hebrides Isle of Harris – only the second distillery to be constructed in the Outer Hebrides region. Construction has already begun on the distillery with an expected completion date of Spring 2015.

For its first year of production, the Isle of Harris Distillery is hoping to produce 300,000 bottles of single malt whisky, which, of course, will not be available until the completion of the maturation process in several years.
