Isle of RAASAY 7 Years Old Peated Bordeaux Red Wine Single Malt Single Cask #18/792 59,3% Vol. 0,7l in Giftbox

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 Hebrides island of the same name. This bottling is 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% Scottish malted barley. The peated spirit matured in Bordeaux Red Wine Cask #18/792, which directly links the smoky base to the influence of the French red wine cask. The single cask is bottled at a robust 59.3% ABV, in its natural color, and without chill filtration.

The Bordeaux red wine casks used by Raasay arrive on the island fresh from chateaux in southwestern France and have a capacity of approximately 220 liters. 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 whiskey. 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-liter bottle is offered in a matching gift box.
