Island Single Malt Scotch Whisky Distillery Bottling 70cl / 46.4%
The Autumn 2022 release from Isle of Raasay distillery, Raasay R-02.1 sticks to the formula that has served the tiny island's only distillery well in previous editions.
Like its predecessors, Isle of Raasay R-02.1 is a mix of the distillery's peated and unpeated spirits, which are matured separately in first fill rye whiskey casks (63%), virgin oak (26%) and red wine casks (11%) before marrying, and has been bottled at a tidy 46.4% without colouring or chill filtration.

Ok it's a young whisky and quite spirity so a drop of water easily calms it down. Despite it's age it's rich and surprisingly complex. The level of peat is well balanced with the rich fruit and a distinct mineral content. There is malty biscuit, vanilla and some darker fruit in there as well along with some spice and pepper. Perhaps a little pricey but never the less, a very decent single malt indeed.

2 bottles of this lovely single malt were bought as gifts. Sampled a couple of drams from one bottle and it went well above expectations. The quality, integrity, natural colour, cask strength ABV and value-for-money made these bottles 'no-brainers'.
Present us with more of these quality bottles at fair prices...and we'll buy more.
This is a heavily sherried dram that tastes of dates and raisins with a touch of honey and vanilla. It’s pretty soft and smooth without water but a few drops seem to thicken it up slightly and add hints of caramel. Absolutely gorgeous.
