Isle of Raasay Peated Ex-Bordeaux Red Wine Single Cask Scotch Whisky is a striking and innovative expression from one of Scotland’s most creative distilleries. This single malt Scotch is uniquely matured in high-quality ex-Bordeaux red wine casks sourced directly from a prestigious château in South West France. The interaction between the peated whisky and the rich, wine-soaked wood results in a Scotch with a stunning color transition and a complex, fruit-forward flavor profile.

Distinctive Maturation Process:

The journey begins with the whisky acquiring a delicate pink hue from the red wine casks, which gradually deepens to a darker red, mirroring the intensity of both the color and flavors absorbed from the wood. This process not only imparts a visually captivating appearance but also enriches the whisky with the bold and sophisticated characteristics of Bordeaux wine.

• Finish: Long and satisfying, the finish carries through with the luxurious fruitiness and warming spices, leaving a lingering impression of a well-crafted, mature whisky.
