Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky boasts a distinctive profile characterized by a pebbly minerality intertwined with crisp peat smoke, complemented by notes of sweet dark caramel and biscuity malt. Beneath these layers, creamy oak and peppery barley create a captivating interplay of flavors. As the flagship offering from the Isle of Raasay Distillery, the first legal distillery on the island, this whisky is a testament to the craft and tradition of Hebridean single malts. It is crafted by individually maturing peated and unpeated spirits in a unique combination of rye whiskey, chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks. The resulting blend showcases a delicate balance of fragrant dark berries and subtle smoke, offering a superb representation of the distillery’s young yet promising legacy.
