RaasayHebridean Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Summary
Raasay Hebridean Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a young and vibrant spirit, crafted on the Isle of Raasay in Scotland.

The distillation process is carefully managed to ensure a balance of flavors, resulting in a whisky that is both complex and approachable for novice drinkers.
The whisky is aged for 5 years in a mix of first-fill American oak and European oak casks, which impart a range of flavors from vanilla and oak to subtle spices. The influence of the coastal climate can be detected in its slightly briny undertones, adding an extra layer of depth to the overall profile. This aging process helps to mellow the spirit, making it smooth and enjoyable.

Its youthful energy is complemented by a well-rounded flavor profile that includes hints of fruit, spice, and a touch of peat smoke.
