- Description
- Isle of Raasay's cask-strength expression showcases the distillery's emerging character through an unconventional cask regime of first-fill rye, fresh Chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks. The combination delivers layers of orchard fruit, spice, and wine-soaked wood complexity underpinned by the island's coastal minerality. Bottled at 61.6%, it presents a full-bodied texture with warming alcohol integration and a sustained finish. This is a whisky for those exploring young Scottish island distilling and willing to taste how diverse cask choices shape new-make spirit.
