Be Here Pt 2
LIKE THE ICONIC HARRIS TWEED® CLOTH CREATED HERE FOR GENERATIONS, OUR FIRST HISTORIC WHISKY IS WOVEN FROM THE HANDS OF ISLAND PEOPLE AND THE PLACE WE CALL HOME, INTIMATELY INTERTWINING TO PRODUCE A SPIRIT OF GREAT COMPLEXITY AND CHARACTER.
OUR CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY’S CULTURE OF GAELIC LANGUAGE, STORYTELLING, AND SONG HAS LONG BOUND THE HEARAICH TOGETHER, NOT ONLY TO EACH OTHER, BUT TO THE ELEMENTAL ISLAND AROUND US. THIS SPECIAL CONNECTION BETWEEN PEOPLE AND PLACE CONTINUES TO THIS DAY WITH EVERY DROP OF THE HEARACH CREATED BY ISLE OF HARRIS HANDS HERE IN THE OUTER HEBRIDES.
BE HERE AT 13.00 BST ON 22ND SEPTEMBER 2023 TO LIVESTREAM 'THE FIRST DRAM'.
JOIN US ONLINE OR IN TARBERT AT 10.00 BST ON 23RD SEPTEMBER 2023 TO BUY THE 'FIRST RELEASE' IN THE UK.

OUR OUTER HEBRIDEAN ISLAND'S INAUGURAL SINGLE MALT TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE SCOTTISH GAELIC WORD FOR A NATIVE OF HARRIS. LIKE MANY WORDS IN OUR BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE, IT CAN SOMETIMES BE A LITTLE TRICKY TO SAY.
SO, WATCH OUR WEE FILM AND SAY THE HEARACH WITH US!
