Raasay
Raasay Peated Chinkapin Oak Cask
From the remote and windswept Isle of Raasay comes this exquisite 5 Year Old single cask release, matured in Chinkapin Oak casks. The island distillery, founded in 2017, has quickly gained acclaim for its innovation and dedication to the craft of whisky-making. This limited edition expression is a fine example of Raasay’s pioneering spirit, combining traditional Scottish distilling methods with unique cask selections that impart a distinctive character to the whisky.
The use of freshly charred Chinkapin Oak casks plays a key role in shaping this whisky’s profile. The fresh charring releases rich colours and flavours early in the maturation process, while the high toast caramelises the wood’s natural sugars, creating a beautifully layered whisky with both youthful vibrancy and depth. Bottled at natural cask strength of 61.9%abv, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour, the Isle of Raasay 5 Year Old Na Sia Peated Chinkapin Oak Cask delivers an authentic and refined single malt experience.
