Isle of Raasay Cask Strength Release 61.3% Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl
This latest release from the Isle of Raasay Distillery is the cask-strength edition of the highly acclaimed Isle of Raasay Single Malt, crafted from the distillery’s unique ‘Na Sia’ six-cask recipe.
The Cask Strength Release is crafted from both peated and unpeated spirit, matured separately in Bordeaux red wine casks, Chinkapin oak casks and Rye casks. These six recipe casks marry together to create the perfect dram with real elegance, complexity and depth of character. Lightly peated with rich dark fruit flavours. With no dilution, this whisky is entirely natural and has been taken straight from the cask for maximum flavour impact.
As always, this release was distilled, matured and bottled entirely on the Isle of Raasay, encapsulating the spirit and character of the Hebridean island. Bottled at natural cask strength with an ABV of 61.3%, natural colour and non-chill filtered. 8,400 bottles available globally.

Isle of Raasay Distillery
Co-founders Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day first met in 2013 and formed R&B Distillers with the common goal of building Scotland’s leading artisanal distiller. Focusing on local production, provenance, quality and doing things differently.
By 2015, they had identified the Isle of Raasay as providing the ingredients for the perfect dram, and planning permission to begin work revitalising the Isle of Raasay’s nineteenth century Borodale House into a state-of-the-art distillery, visitor centre, and luxury accommodation was granted in 2016.
Starting with a blank sheet of paper, they set about designing a distillery to create exceptional whisky that develops elegance, complexity, and depth early on in the maturation process and a handcrafted Hebridean gin that encapsulates Raasay’s style, character and impressive geological variety.
