Expert Review

7.5/10

The first legal distillery on the Isle of Raasay — opened September 2017, employing 30+ people on the small Hebridean island. Uses a unique combination of three cask types: ex-American rye, virgin Chinkapin oak, and ex-Bordeaux red wine. Both peated and unpeated spirit matured across all three — the only such combination in Scotch whisky history. 46.4%, non-chill filtered.
