Description

Discover the unique character of the Isle of Raasay Signature Single Malt, the first legal single malt whisky from the Isle of Raasay in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. Crafted from both peated and unpeated spirit, and aged in a combination of first-fill rye whiskey, virgin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks, this whisky reflects the island’s rugged beauty and the distillery’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship.

The result is a beautifully balanced whisky, offering a distinctive mix of rich dark fruit, sweet honey, and warming spice, underpinned by a gentle smoky character that lingers on the palate. Each sip reveals the complex layers of flavour that have been perfected through Raasay’s unique Hebridean maturation process.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Dark berries, dried fruit, vanilla, and subtle hints of smoke.
• Palate: Honeyed sweetness, toasted oak, peppery spice, and dark fruit with a touch of peat smoke.
• Finish: Long and warming, with layers of sweet malt, smoke, and rich spices.
