RAER spirits is made at Jackton Distillery - a 'young, female-led family distillery' located in South Lanarkshire in the Lowlands. Founded in 2020 by the Kean family, they filled their first cask in February of that year. Named after the nearby village of Jackton, the distillery is continuing to grow and they are currently in the process of building their own on-site maltings facility. While their own barley is growing in the fields of Jackton Estate, their new make spirit is currently produced using locally malted Scottish grown barley. They are focusing on providing a true seed to spirit experience.
This is the RAER Inaugural Release - their very first Single Malt Scotch Whisky, having only released Blended Whisky up until now. Matured in a combination of Bourbon, Pedro Ximénez, Amontillado and Oloroso casks, this is a rich, full-flavoured whisky with warmth, depth and balance.
Limited to 6,000 individually hand-numbered bottles.
Official Tasting Notes
Nose - Look for fruitcake, fig and sultana.
Palate - Expect dark fruits, treacle and roasted nuts.
Finish - Long and mellow, with toffee, sweet spice and soft oak.

Tasting Rating Guide
1: Light, good for beginners - an aperitif on a summers day, i.e. Glengoyne, Auchentoshan
2: Also good for beginners but with more depth and body - a little stronger than 1, ie. Glenmorangie, Speyburn
3: A dram for everyone, a little more complex so the palate requires a little more experience, i.e. Cragganmore, Macallan
4: A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner, i.e. Lagavulin, Laphroaig
