The Isle of Raasay Distillery is the first legal whisky distillery on the stunning Hebridean island which is rooted in centuries of illicit distilling. The island is the ideal location to produce their signature, lightly peated single malt whisky.
Their signature Isle of Raasay Single Malt is lightly peated, balanced with rich dark fruit flavours. Matured in six signature casks as part of their unique six-part maturation, creating real depth and complexity.
Their Annual Distillery Special Release is a demonstration of their desire to push the boundaries of Raasay single malt flavour further and to give a taste of something different to their signature distillery style.
2023's Special Release celebrates their 'Distillery of the Year' win at the Scottish Whisky Awards. As well as being the oldest liquid they have released to date (distilled in August 2018 and bottled in August 2023), it is also their first unpeated release.
As an extra treat, you'll also have the chance to sample the Isle of Raasay Gin, which combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including Raasay juniper and their triple distilled spirit. This refreshingly zesty dry gin certainly captures the essence of the island!
Come along to find out more about the Raasay Distillery story, try their excellent spirits and pick up some great serve suggestions!
