- Description
- Isle of Raasay's Dùn Cana began in American rye whiskey barrels before finishing in oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry quarter casks, creating a richly sherried single malt from this young Hebridean distillery. The palate balances sticky dried fruits, black pepper, and soft campfire smoke with vanilla and baking spices, building complexity across the mid-palate. The finish is long and warming, with lingering oak spice and subtle smoke. Ideal for those seeking intense sherry influence and peaty character in a young whisky.
