Isle of Raasay Single Malt Whisky - The Chinkapin
Special features: The Isle of Raasay Single Malt Whisky "The Chinkapin" is a pioneering work of the Isle of Raasay Distillery and the first single malt to be fully matured in Chinkapin oak casks. This rare oak species from North America imparts unique flavors to the whisky and is rarely used in whisky production. The casks were heavily charred and toasted according to the distillery's specifications to achieve the characteristic barbecue flavor.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An enticing aroma of wood smoke, accompanied by lush notes of dark fruits.
- Palate: A harmonious combination of barbecue glaze, sweet honey, fresh lime, spicy cinnamon, and smoked ham.
- Finish: A long-lasting echo of sandalwood and fragrant smoke that captivates the senses.
Distillery/Bottler: The Isle of Raasay Distillery, founded in 2017, is located on the island of the same name between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish mainland. It is known for its innovative production methods and the use of local ingredients. The distillery exclusively uses Scottish barley for the production of its whisky and relies on a long fermentation process to develop complex flavors.
