Isle of Raasay Single Malt
The Draam is our signature style single malt. Lightly peated and balanced with rich, dark fruit flavours coming from our unique six cask recipe created by our Master Distiller, Alasdair.
Peated and unpeated spirit matured separately in three different types of oak casks: ex American Rye, virgin Chinkapin oak and ex Bordeaux red wine – the only cask combination of its kind in Scotch whisky history! Always natural colour and non-chill filtered. 46.4% ABV.
Isle of Raasay Gin
Our handcrafted Scottish island gin combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including juniper, rhubarb root, sweet orange peel and our double distilled spirit. The result is dry, zesty and refreshingly smooth.
Serve with ice and thin strips of orange zest, expressing the oils into your glass and around the rim to highlight crisp citrus notes.
