Isle of Raasay Single Malt

The Isle of Raasay, an island rooted in centuries of illicit distilling, provides the ingredients for the perfect dram. Our lightly peated Isle of Raasay Single Malt is an expression of this magical place.

Their flagship Isle of Raasay Single Malt, 46.4% ABV, natural colour, non-chill filtered.

It represents their signature Isle of Raasay style: lightly peated with rich dark fruits.

They set out to emulate some older styles of Hebridean single malts, with subtle, fragrant smokiness balanced with dark fruit flavours.

Two spirits – peated and unpeated – are matured separately in first fill Rye whiskey, fresh Chinkapin oak and first fill Bordeaux red wine casks.

These six recipe casks marry together to create the perfect dram with real elegance, complexity and depth of character.

Every drop of spirit is distilled, matured and bottled on the Isle of Raasay using water from our well: Tobar na Ba Bàine (the Well of the Pale Cow).” – Isle of Raasay Single Malt | Isle of Raasay Distillery
