Isle of Raasay Cask Strength - 2026 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML

This cask strength single malt showcases Isle of Raasay’s signature six-cask recipe (Na Sia). A selection of peated and unpeated spirit is matured separately in a mix of rye whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks, then married and bottled at cask strength – in this case, a robust 61.1% ABV. A bold, complex, and unapologetically flavourful single malt.

Isle of Raasay Cask Strength - 2026 Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Rich vanilla, dark berries and ripe orchard fruit with gentle peat smoke and toasted oak. Red-wine sweetness develops alongside pepper, spice and a subtle maritime freshness.

Palate: Powerful and full-bodied, with dark fruit, blackcurrant, vanilla fudge and sweet malt. Chinkapin oak contributes toasted spice and tannin, while rye cask influence brings pepper and warmth beneath the gentle peat.

Finish: Long, warming and smoky, with lingering dark berries, vanilla, oak spice and coastal peat. The high cask strength carries the fruit and spice deep into a slowly drying finish.

Distillery Information

Situated on the isle of Raasay in the Inner Hebrides, the Isle of Raasay Distillery opened its doors in 2017, ready to start distilling its whisky and gin. The first release from the team was Isle of Raasay Gin, which was also the first legal spirit distilled on the island (though there is a long history of illicit distilling on Raasay going back centuries!). In 2021, Raasay's very first single malt Scotch whisky was released to the world, boasting a lightly peated style to it. Excitingly, the distillery has also got some cool plans for whiskies made using barley grown on the island too!
