The Isle of Raasay Distillery, situated on the picturesque Hebridean island of Raasay in Scotland, is renowned for its innovative whisky-making approach. They have introduced 'Dun Cana', a limited edition whisky named after a mountainous plateau on the island, one of its highest points. This whisky is a blend of peated and unpeated spirits, with initial maturation taking place in American rye casks, followed by a secondary maturation in Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry quarter casks.
The result is a whisky brimming with flavors of peppery spice, dried sultanas, and subtle vanilla, culminating in a finish that offers enduring salty chocolate and a delicate trace of aromatic wood smoke. Presented at 52% ABV, this release boasts a natural color and is non-chill filtered.
Dun Cana is a distinctive feature of Raasay, a volcanic, flat-topped plateau that offers views of the island's most iconic sites from its summit. The first edition of Dun Cana was matured in sherry quarter casks and bottled at a robust strength of 52% ABV.
The whisky undergoes a two-part maturation process. The first phase involves aging in American rye casks, specifically former Woodford Reserve US Kentucky American oak ASBs with a capacity of 190 liters. The second phase consists of a nine-month finishing period in quarter casks that previously held Pedro Ximenez and Oloroso sherry, with a capacity of 125 liters.
This annual release offers slight variations in cask composition or age, with a limited number of bottles available worldwide. The first edition saw 14,000 bottles released globally, with 360 allocated for the Dutch market.
