The Isle of Raasay's Batch R-01.2 is a fascinating expression from one of Scotland's newest distilleries, showcasing their innovative approach to whisky production. This batch is a careful blend of peated and unpeated spirits, matured in a combination of rye whiskey, chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks. The result is a singularly complex whisky with a harmonious balance of sweet fruit, spicy oak, and subtle peat smoke. Isle of Raasay's releases have been eagerly anticipated and warmly received, marking a promising start for the distillery's portfolio.
