Description

Raasay relies on rare woods:
Start of the Oak Species Maturation Series

Windswept, wild, and beautiful: A tiny island off the west coast of Scotland is making whisky history. Single malt has been legally distilled on the Isle of Raasay for the first time since 2017. With its Oak Species Maturation Series, the Isle of Raasay Distillery is now opening a new chapter.

The limited-edition bottlings in the series will reveal the character of individual oak varieties – and demonstrate that no pre-aging with wine, sherry, etc. is necessary to imbue whisky with complex, deep aromas.

The Isle of Raasay – Quercus Humboldtii Columbian Oak provides the first evidence. This single malt, matured entirely in virgin Colombian oak barrels, is extremely rare. Anyone who manages to get their hands on one of the 8,500 bottles available worldwide will discover delicious aromas of crème brûlée and heather smoke.
