The Misty Bottle
Raasay The Chinkapin
The Chinkapin has landed, the third core Isle of Raasay Single Malt Whisky, 50.2% ABV, natural colour, non-chill filtered. Peated and unpeated spirit crafted with 100% Scottish barley and matured, separately, in fresh and refill Chinkapin Oak casks, then married together to create the signature lightly peated style of whisky.
Chinkapin Oak is an oak species from North America, not vastly used in the whisky industry. They like to think of it as the Raasay superpower. Many of you will know it is a component of our flagship whisky The Draam. These rare oak casks have a high toast and heavy char and bring a delicious barbecue flavour to our lighly peated whisky.
This single malt whisky has been fully matured in Chinkapin oak casks, which is an industry first.
