This release is a WHISKYBROTHER EXCLUSIVE; selected by our team, bottled for us, and not available anywhere else in the world.

DESCRIPTION

Our first official collaboration with the Isle of Raasay distillery, which, although only founded in 2017, has quickly established itself as a must-drink whisky producer. The peated spirit was distilled in 2021, fully matured in an ex-Oloroso sherry quarter cask, and bottled earlier this year in 2025. Only 156 bottles were produced. Non-chillfiltered, naturally coloured, and bottled at a cask strength of 59.7%.

TASTING NOTES

Nose: An evident but medium peat of sweet wood smoke pours out brimming with red fruits-both fresh and dried. 

Palate: A rich and full dram, with more dried fruits, mixed salted nuts and a hint of chocolate. The alcohol is very shy with the intense flavours keeping any signs of it at bay. 

Finish: Mouth-coating with soft pepper and spice emerging, and drying oak char on the very end.

NOTES FROM THE WB TEAM

Yes, this is only a 4 year old whisky, but we are 99.99% sure that no one would know or could tell. If you've tried any Raasay releases (which we've done our best to make available sporadically in SA), then you know the distillery is doing a phenomenal job with their whisky. If you haven't tried it yet, you are seriously missing out—and now you have one more reason to be tempted.
