They began whisky production in September 2017 and released the first legal Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky in 2020.
Isle of Raasay Distillery places a strong emphasis on sustainability. They continue to utilise renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly practices in its operations. The distillery continues to experiment with different cask types and maturation processes to create unique expressions of its whisky.
This is their signature Isle of Raasay Single Malt expression. It is lightly peated balanced with rich dark fruit flavours. They use a combination of six signature casks, maturing peated and unpeated Isle of Raasay spirit separately in ex-Rye Whiskey, Virgin Chinkapin Oak and Bordeaux Red Wine casks.
When creating the first legal Scotch whisky on the Isle of Raasay, Master Distiller Alasdair Day drew inspiration from traditional Hebridean styles, known for their dark fruit flavours and heather smoke. The resulting single malt combines heritage with contemporary whisky-making techniques.
A fermentation period of 3 to 5 days helps develop the whisky’s distinctive dark fruit character. Meanwhile, the six-cask maturation process allows each cask type to contribute its full range of flavours to the final spirit.
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
