Isle of Raasay Limited Edition 2024 Release 1 Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Isle of Raasay's 2024 edition is as characterful as the bottle that holds it. Malt galore, chewy, sweet and intense, sprinkled with salt and pepper, menthol and earthy peat lifting the peppery finish. A kind of rugged, West Coast maritime style halfway between Talisker and peated Kilkerran. 61.3% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered. Tasted from a 30ml sample.

Other reviews... Using Raasay’s signature six-cask recipe, the nose is bursting with citrus, apricot, honey, fir peatiness, and hints of cinnamon and ginger. Delicate sherry notes on first sip, with black currant, butterscotch, ginger root, and creamy vanilla mingling with salty peat smoke, milk chocolate, and fruity layers. Takes water well, but it’s superb as a high-proof sip when consumed exactly as the distiller intended. 94 points - whiskyadvocate.com
