Isle of Raasay - 5 y.o. - Single Malt Whisky - Single Cask #19/69 Peated Chinkapin Oak

Special features: This limited release comes from Single Cask #19/69, matured in a freshly charred and toasted Chinkapin Oak cask – a North American oak species that is rather unusual in the whisky world. The Isle of Raasay distillery, a pioneer on the eponymous Hebridean island, follows an innovative approach with its “Na Sia” recipe, allowing both peated and unpeated spirits to mature in various cask combinations. This special edition showcases the characterful complexity of the peated variant and offers exciting insights into the development of island whisky.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Expressive aromas of sweet toffee, dark fruits, and a hint of ginger, underlined by warm wood smoke.
• Palate: Strong and full-bodied, with intense notes of roasted oak paired with a fine smokiness and spicy nuances.
• Finish: Long-lasting, accompanied by smoky wood tones and a pleasant sweetness.

Distillery/Bottler: The Isle of Raasay Distillery is the first legal distillery on the island of Raasay in the Scottish Hebrides. Founded in recent years, it has quickly made a name for itself through its innovative cask maturation concept and the combination of peated and unpeated whiskies. The philosophy behind the “Na Sia” program focuses on the six different maturation casks and allows for the diversity of island whisky to be experienced in single releases.
