Portrait: What makes the Isle of Raasay Cask Strength special
The first legal whisky distillery on the Hebridean island of Raasay is embarking on a powerful new chapter on: With the Isle of Raasay Cask Strength, the coastal distillery presents its strongest single malt to date.
The classic Isle of Raasay was used for this bottling Single malt bottled with a cask strength of 61.3%vol. It was made according to the island distillers' innovative cask recipe from peated and unpeated raw spirits, which mature separately on Raasay's coast in three cask types: First Fill Rye Whiskey Casks, Virgin Chinkapin Oak Casks and First Fill Bordeaux Red Wine Casks.
The result? A maximum of taste in which delicate, aromatic smoke meets lush fruit notes of cherry, apricot and black currant. Candied ginger, black pepper and cinnamon, vanilla, butterscotch, sandalwood and a touch of salt round off the complex experience
Tasting Notes: This is how the Isle of Raasay Cask Strength tastes like

- Palate: mouth-filling with notes of candied ginger, cinnamon and black pepper - some vanilla in the background
