Isle of Raasay 2024 Special Release Cask Strength

Isle of Raasay 2024 Special Release Cask Strength

This cask-strength release of Raasay distillery’s signature single malt was matured in first-fill rye casks, fresh Chinkapin oak and first-fill red wine casks from Bordeaux. A lightly-peated character is driven forward by powerful dark fruit, maple syrup, lemon posset and toffee.

The Isle of Raasay Distillery, established in 2017, is the first legal distillery on the island. The distillery uses mineral-rich water from the island’s well, which adds a unique character to its whiskies. The focus is on sustainability; the Isle of Raasay has a zero-waste policy and uses renewable energy sources. This cask strength release offers a bold, intense flavour: lightly peated but balanced with rich dark fruits.

The Isle of Raasay Distillery is located on the eponymous island in the Inner Hebrides – a rugged, desolate terrain that has historically been home to illicit distilling. It was established in 2014 by Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day.
