Isle of Raasay Na Sia Single Cask Series: Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Peated
The Na Sia Single Cask Series — named after the Gaelic word for "six," a nod to the six cask types that define Raasay's core range — represents the pinnacle of the distillery's craft. Each release is drawn from a single cask, offering an unrepeatable snapshot of the island's spirit at its most expressive.
About the Distillery
Nestled on the remote Hebridean island of Raasay between Skye and the Scottish mainland, Isle of Raasay Distillery has built a reputation for bold, terroir-driven single malts since opening in 2017. The island's wild, windswept character is woven into every drop.
Bordeaux Red Wine Cask Finish
This peated expression has been matured and finished in a single Bordeaux red wine cask, marrying the distillery's signature island peat smoke with the deep, brooding influence of French oak and red wine. The result is a whisky of extraordinary complexity — smoke and fruit in perfect tension, with a richness that only a single cask can deliver.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Coastal peat smoke, dark red fruits, blackcurrant, and a hint of damp earth
- Palate: Bold and layered — smoked meats, ripe plum, dark cherry, clove, and warming oak spice
- Finish: Long and complex, with lingering peat, dried fruit, and a whisper of sea salt
