Description
This official Isle of Raasay single malt, a Cask Strength bottling and bottled at 61.3%. Only 8400 bottles were released. Raasay is a modern island distillery, the first legal one on this small Hebridean isle off the coast of Skye. The Na Sia series, Gaelic for the six, bottles each of the six recipe casks as a single cask.
Distilled on water from the island well in Italian built copper stills, the make carried a blackberry fruit from its long fermentation. Maturation in a Bordeaux cask brought dark berry fruit and a soft tannin. Without an age statement, it is fresh, vibrant and cask forward. Island maturation in a small, careful operation keeps the spirit close to its source. The island had a long history of illicit distilling before the first legal still arrived. Mineral rich water from the island well shapes the spirit before it meets the cask. The distillery does everything in house, from mashing to bottling, on the island.
At 61.3%, undiluted, it is rich and vivid. The wine cask adds blackberry, plum and a red berry lift with a clean coastal lift behind. It is fresh and vivid, the young spirit shining through. It finishes clean, fresh and fruity. This is a modern Hebridean single malt.
