Portrait: What makes the Isle of Raasay peated exRye-Single Cask #22/671.

The Isle of Raasay Hebridean Distillers are real pioneers.
Since the founding of their distillery, Whisky has been legally distilled on the wild, beautiful Hebridean island for the first time.
And: Your Isle of Raasay Single Malt matures in a cask combination that is new to Scotland.

"Na Sia" (Gael for “the six”) is what the island distillers call their unique whisky recipe - and are now presenting six single cask bottlings.
It combines peated and unpeated raw spirits from the distillery.
Both types of raw spirit mature separately on Raasay's coast in three cask types: First Fill Rye Whiskey Casks, Virgin Chinkapin Oak Casks and First Fill Bordeaux Red Wine Casks.

In the Na Sia Single Cask series, the distinctive aromas of each of these six casks come into their own individually.
The Raasay peated Rye Whiskey Cask 22/671 matured in a rye whiskey cask. from the Woodford Reserve Distillery in Kentucky, where 53% Rye can be used in the mash.
The single malt was then finished in former Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks.

The barrel developed exciting pepper, sweet spice and butterscotch notes in the Raasay Single Malt.
