Raasay Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Review Date: 07/2023
The quality of the Raasay malt is off the charts. It's beautifully peaty with bright clear fruit and malt on the nose. The palate has a lot of rich vanilla and dried candied fruit sweetness with a lingering salty peat on the finish and a very pretty malted chocolate note at the very end. If you're looking for a new staple malt from Scotland, this should be it. They've managed to produce a super compelling malt as their first core release and I can't wait to see what else comes out of this special distillery in the coming years.

Notes
The Isle of Raasay Single Malt Whisky is the the first major export from this tiny isle in quite some time. This 46.4% ABV spirit is naturally colored and non-chill filtered, offering hints of peatiness and rich dark fruit flavors. The magic truly lies in the maturation process. A delicate dance of peated and unpeated spirits, each matured separately in first fill Rye whiskey, fresh Chinkapin Oak, and first fill Bordeaux red wine casks. It's their distinctive blend of six recipe casks that gives this dram its elegance, complexity, and depth. The best part? It's distilled, matured, bottled, and shipped directly from the idyllic Isle of Raasay, home to a cozy population of only 161 folks. This whisky is as unique and charming as the island it hails from, making it a standout choice for those looking to experience the real vibe of Raasay in each sip.
