Ready for the island? Maritime-fruity pleasure with the Isle of Raasay Single Malt
Peated and unpeated spirits, each matured separately on the Raasay coast in three selected cask types: The Isle of Raasay Hebridean Single Malt in a nutshell.
The combination of First Fill Rye Whiskey Casks, Virgin Chinkapin Oak Casks and First Fill Bordeaux Red Wine Casks has never existed in the history of Scotch Whisky.
What is in Raasay's pioneering barrel combination? Elegance, complexity and depth of character.
This also applies to the distillery's new batch.
In the island whisky, cherry meets apricot and wood smoke meets salted caramel.
The raw brandy already brings dark fruit notes.
In addition, mineral-rich Raasay water and a very long fermentation of up to 118 hours (5 days) ensure the characteristic taste of sweet blackberries even before each barrel contact.
The young distillery emphasizes the Raasay character with its own bottle shape.
The uneven surface captures the wild beauty of the island's landscape and its geological legacy.
The basis for the Signature Single Malt is malt made from Scottish barley, kilned over Highland peat.
Still! Because the declared goal is to only use ingredients from the windswept Hebridean island.
The founders, Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day, brought barley cultivation back to Raasay in May 2017 after more than 40 years.
Since then, the old Icelandic varieties Bere and Iskria have been thriving here.
Nose: sweet and smoke - wood smoke on sea air, with dried and ripe apricots, candied fruits and glacé cherries
Palate: Sweet spices, cinnamon and black pepper as well as black currant and again wood smoke - then follow notes of heather, honey and salted caramel, both sweet and salted popcorn and black cherry
Finish: pleasantly dry and long with a hint of salt, fine wood smoke and dried fruits
