RAER Oloroso Expression Blended Scotch

Natasha Volkov — A real discovery

8/10

I'd never tried anything from this distillery before and I'm genuinely impressed. Deep copper colour, aromas of dried apricot and toasted almond, and a palate with wonderful weight and texture. There's a savoury note underneath that gives it real character. Will definitely be buying more.

Priya Sharma — Beautifully crafted and moreish

8/10

Gorgeous nose of butterscotch, fresh-cut oak, and a hint of orange peel. On the palate it's smooth and layered with lovely warmth that builds gently. The finish has a pleasant nutty sweetness that makes you reach for another sip. Perfect neat or with a single ice cube.

Clara Johansson — Stunning complexity from start to finish

9/10

From the moment you crack the seal, this whiskey announces itself. Rich aromas of toffee, dried fruit, and old leather give way to a palate that's both powerful and remarkably elegant. The mid-palate weight is extraordinary — concentrated without being heavy. The finish lingers for what feels like a full minute with waves of oak spice and dark chocolate. Absolutely world-class.
