Isle of Harris, 46%

Price: 55 ● Issue: Fall 2026 ● Reviewer: Jonny McCormick ● Category: Single Malt Scotch

Matured in first-fill bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, this exudes a balanced combination of saltiness, sweetness, and creaminess. Fresh coastal breezes, honey, vanilla, light peat smoke, custard creams, butterscotch, banana, and seaweed aromas abound. The thick, mouth-coating texture presents flavors of butterscotch sauce, lemon curd, lime zest, kiwi, gooseberry, crème brûlée, pink grapefruit, and sour cherries. The finish brings butterscotch over melon balls, peppery spice, and a blast of peat smoke. This really stands out.
