Scottish Whisky : Scotch

Commercial description

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

Lightly peated with rich dark fruit flavours.

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

.........

Created from a marriage of Isle of Raasay spirits - peated and unpeated - both of which 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 B?ine (the Well of the Pale Cow).

The difficult to find Justerini & Brooks 15 year old Reserve blended whisky is a characterful whisky and boasts a touch more peat than the regular J&B bottling.

Blended from 42 malts, all from Speyside, plus top quality grain. It's smooth and fruity.

This Aberlour has been finished in a first fill oloroso butt and bottled by independent bottler James Eadie.
