Isle of Raasay Hebridean Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Unpeated)
Scotland
Tasting Notes: Hailing from the West Highland Islands - from Na Sia SIngle Cask Series-
Naturally coloured, and non-chill filtered, the whisky has an ABV of a whopping 62.1% ABV. Be warned, this is not for those new to Scotch.
On the nose, the caramelisation of the wood really comes through, offering aromas of maple syrup, butterscotch, and toffee. Sweet oak smoke is hiding in the background, just begging to be discovered.
On the palate, rich and vibrant overripe dark fruits will immediately be present, coupled with vanilla pods, toasted oats, oak, and salted caramel.
The finish is lengthy and complex, offering plenty of burn, with an underlying vanilla cream smoothness, combined with fresh blackberries and cherries. Again, there is definitely a smoky note to be detected.
