Description
The Dùn Cana Sherry Quarter Cask Release: Third Edition from the Isle of Raasay Distillery is a bold, complex single malt Scotch whisky that embodies the spirit of innovation and island tradition. Named after the highest peak on the Isle of Raasay, Dùn Cana stands as a symbol of rugged beauty and strength—qualities reflected in every sip of this exceptional whisky.
This third edition is a limited release, distilled from a combination of peated and unpeated malt, then matured first in ex-rye whiskey casks, followed by a finishing period in Pedro Ximénez and Oloroso sherry quarter casks. The result is a whisky bursting with rich character, natural depth, and a warming maritime soul.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of dried figs, toasted almonds, soft campfire smoke, and raisin.
Palate: Full-bodied and mouth-coating with notes of dark chocolate, ripe red fruits, nutmeg, and sweet sherry spice.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering sherry sweetness and a whisper of peat smoke.
