{"product_id":"raasay-the-full-monti","title":"Raasay - The Full Monti","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIsle of Raasay ‘The Full Monti’ is a bold, limited-edition Hebridean single malt that strips away the distillery's signature peat smoke to showcase the pure, naked complexity of an unpeated spirit transformed by exceptional wood. Inspired by co-founder and master distiller Alasdair Day’s exploration of the famous bodega cellars in Jerez, Spain, this expression takes its name from the British phrase \"the full monty\"—proving that when it comes to depth and craftsmanship, this dram leaves absolutely nothing behind.\u003cbr\u003eDistilled from unpeated Laureate and Concerto barley, the spirit undergoes a rigorous six-year dual-maturation process. It spends its first three years resting in 190-litre ex-Woodford Reserve Rye whiskey barrels, absorbing soft vanilla and spiced undertones. It is then transferred to 250-litre ex-Amontillado sherry hogsheads for an additional three years. This equal split allows the dry, nutty, and savory elegance of the Amontillado oak to completely redefine the whisky’s character.\u003cbr\u003eBottled at a powerful 100 UK Proof (57.1% ABV) as a tribute to historic British maritime distilling traditions, this release is completely natural in color and non-chill filtered. With only 5,000 bottles available worldwide, it is a rare, rich, and deeply rewarding addition to any whisky collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eOfficial Tasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003cstrong\u003e Appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e: A warm, polished, entirely natural chestnut hue in the glass.\u003cbr\u003e•\u003cstrong\u003e Nose\u003c\/strong\u003e: Opens with clean vanilla pod, warm butterscotch, and toasted hazelnuts, balanced by a sophisticated, savory edge of roasted almonds and sweet pipe tobacco.\u003cbr\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e: Remarkable viscosity and presence without overpowering heat.
