The Isle of Raasay Hebridean Single Malt Whisky R-02 is an exceptional 2021 release from Raasay Distillery, located on the picturesque Isle of Raasay between the Isle of Skye and the Scottish West Coast. This lightly peated expression is a harmonious blend of peated and unpeated spirits, each matured separately in three distinct cask types: first-fill ex-rye whiskey casks, virgin Chinkapin oak casks, and first-fill Bordeaux wine casks. This meticulous process results in a multifaceted and elegant whisky, boasting a natural color and bottled at 46.4% ABV without chill filtration. Upon nosing, you are greeted with slightly medicinal aromas intertwined with recognizable peatiness, complemented by dark berries and earthy smoke. The palate is both sweet and peppery, offering a unique combination of peat, nuts, smoky undertones, citrus, and berry flavors, with a slight salty salinity. This complex flavor profile culminates in a medium-length finish that is spicy, smoky, earthy, and enriched with dark fruity and cherry notes. As the second batch of the flagship Isle of Raasay Single Malt, the R-02 is a testament to the distillery's innovative spirit. By marrying peated and unpeated whiskies matured in diverse casks, the Raasay Distillery has crafted a whisky that embodies the unique character of the Hebrides, inviting whisky enthusiasts on a sensory journey through its rich and vibrant landscape. The continuous first release of the Isle of Raasay Single Malt, Batch R01.2, showcases the distillery's expertise in creating a complex and balanced whisky. Expect aromas of black cherries and earthy smoke, followed by a palate bursting with rich dark fruit flavors, hints of peat, and sweet spice.
