Raasay Single Malt
This is the first Raasay within the core range of the Island distillery. Raasay is located on the eponymous small island between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish mainland. Peated and unpeated new makes matured in three different types of casks and were then married together for this Single Malt. It then matures at the coast of the tiny Scottish Island in Ex-Rye Whiskey, fresh Chinquapin wood and Bordeaux Red Wine casks. The special bottle design shows the origin of the island Malt: With the uneven surface, it portrays the wild beauty of the island landscape.
