The Isle of RAASAY Na Sia Single Cask Series Bordeaux Red Wine Peated Single Malt is a characterful peated single malt Scotch whisky from the Isle of Raasay. It forms part of the Na Sia Single Cask Series, whose name is derived from Gaelic and means ‘the six’. The series showcases, one by one, the six cask types that form an important foundation for the distinctive whisky style of the Isle of Raasay Distillery. In this variant, peated Scottish single malt meets a Bordeaux red wine cask that previously held several vintages of Bordeaux wine. The French oak casks used impart a distinctive wine character and additional structure to the whisky. It is produced from 100 per cent Scottish malted barley and bottled at a robust 60 per cent ABV.

The combination of peated smoke and Bordeaux Red Wine Cask is one of the most exciting cask variations in the Na-Sia range. During maturation, the cask – imbued with the character of the red wine – can impart an increasingly reddish colour to the whisky, as well as intense fruit and spice notes. The Bordeaux casks are made from European oak, specifically Quercus petraea and Quercus robur, whose tannins and spicy character complement the dark fruitiness of the former red wine cask. Typical of this type of cask are notes of dark berries, plums and cherries, which blend with the smoky character of the distillate. The Raasay Na Sia Bordeaux Red Wine Peated Single Malt is not chill-filtered and is bottled without added colouring. The 0.7-litre bottle with a gift box is therefore particularly aimed at connoisseurs of full-bodied, cask-influenced and smoky island whiskies.
