Crafted on the scenic Isle of Raasay, the Isle of Raasay Na Sia Unpeated Ex-Bordeaux Single Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky embodies the island's rugged beauty and innovative spirit. Distilled at Raasay Distillery, this exclusive release showcases a unique marriage of tradition and experimentation, aged in a single cask previously used to mature Bordeaux wine.
Upon first nosing, delicate aromas of red berries, plums, and a hint of citrus greet the senses, intertwined with subtle oak and a whisper of sea breeze.

Each inhalation evokes the essence of the Isle of Raasay, promising a sensory journey unlike any other.
On the palate, Na Sia unfolds with a velvety texture, delivering a symphony of flavors that evolve with each sip. Juicy red fruits, including raspberries and strawberries, mingle harmoniously with hints of dark chocolate and a gentle spice. The influence of the Bordeaux cask adds layers of complexity, imparting nuances of dried fruits, leather, and a subtle earthiness that contribute to the whisky's depth.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of fruit compote and a touch of oak spice that lingers on the palate.
