Isle Of Raasay Single Malt R-01 Bottled 2021

Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46.4%

A bottle of the historic Isle Of Raasay Single Malt R-01 Island single malt whisky bottled in 2021. Following on from the limited Inaugural Release at the end of 2020, this was the first general release of Isle of Raasay Single Malt, appearing in mid-2021. Isle of Raasay distillery began production on the eponymous Inner Hebridean island in September 2017.

As you might expect, the Isle of Raasay distillery is on the small side - their capacity is just under 200,000 litres per year, thanks to small stills and a long fermentation time. Raasay have aged both their peated and unpeated whiskies separately in a unique combination of first fill American rye whiskey casks, virgin Chinkapin oak casks and Bordeaux red wine casks to create this historic Isle of Raasay R-01 whisky: a lightly peated Island single malt with a rich, dark fruity style, bottled without colouring or chill filtration at 46.4%.
