Isle of Raasay - 5 y.o. - Single Malt Whisky - Single Cask #18/721 Peated Red Wine Cask

Special features: The Isle of Raasay Distillery makes history as the first legal whisky distillery on the small Isle of Raasay. This 5-year-old single malt is part of the innovative “Na Sia” series, where peated and unpeated distillates mature in different cask types. This cask number #18/721 was exclusively matured in a heavily peated first fill Bordeaux red wine cask, fresh from the French Châteaux. The bottling is done at cask strength and undiluted, without chill filtration or coloring added.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Smoky notes with an intense presence of wood smoke, complemented by fruity accents of dark dried fruits and subtle red wine nuances.
• Palate: Rich flavors of BBQ ribs and spicy wood elements combine with a maritime freshness.
• Finish: Long-lasting, smoky with a harmonious connection of fruit and sea breeze.
