Description

The Isle Of Raasay began distilling in September 2017. It takes three years of maturation in oak casks before the liqour can legally be called "whisky". While waiting for the new Raasay Whisky, The distillery have crafted a single malt, aptly called Raasay, While We Wait, that demonstrates the whisky making skills and offers a tantalising taste of what's to come from the Isle of Raasay Distillery. This release is a blend of two expressions from one undisclosed distillery; one peated, one unpeated, finished in French oak Tuscan wine casks. It is non-chill filtered and has natural color.
