The Isle of Raasay 7 Years Old Peated Bordeaux Red Wine Single Malt Single Cask #18/792 is a unique single-cask bottling from the Isle of Raasay Distillery on the Scottish Hebridean island of the same name. This bottling forms part of the Na Sia Single Cask Series, through which the distillery individually showcases the six different cask types – or recipe components – of its Isle of Raasay Single Malt. This 7-year-old peated single malt Scotch whisky is made from 100 per cent Scottish malted barley. The peated spirit was matured in Bordeaux Red Wine Cask #18/792, thereby directly linking the smoky base with the influence of the French red wine cask. The single cask is bottled at a robust 59.3 per cent ABV, in its natural colour and without chill filtration.


The Bordeaux red wine casks used by Raasay arrive on the island fresh from châteaux in south-west France and have a capacity of around 220 litres. They are made from the European oak species Quercus robur and Quercus petraea and were previously used for three Bordeaux vintages. During maturation, the casks impart tannins and spicy oak notes, as well as intense fruit character, to the whisky. Characteristic of this cask type are, in particular, dark fruits such as blackberries, plums and cherries, as well as dried fruits and raisins. It is precisely the combination of peated Raasay distillate, Bordeaux red wine casks and single-cask bottling that makes Cask #18/792 a particularly distinctive interpretation of the island style. The 0.7-litre bottle is presented in a matching gift box.
