  • I really enjoyed my visit to the Raasay Distillery, before my tour I had a meal at the restaurant. I wish I lived closer as I’d like to try everything else on the menu.

    The tour was really informative and I loved the taste of the whiskey.

    By far the best distillery I’ve visited.

  • Raasay distillery is a destination in itself as you have to get the Calmac ferry from Sconser on Skye. I’ve been drinking Raasay whisky since they won Scottish distiller of the year in December 2022, but had to wait until my NC500 trip to make it over. Really helpful & knowledgeable staff, beautiful surroundings of the distillery, the lounge area has a beautiful view over the loch to Skye. Staff are all really knowledgeable about their whisky & the gin. I had a tasting flight of x3 different whiskies, my partner had Raasay gin & Fever tree tonic. No rush to move out of the lounge area, treats for the dog – just lovely.

  • What an incredible spot to spend a few hours, just an easy/short ferry ride off the Isle of Skye. We did an afternoon distillery tour (with chocolate pairings) and couldn’t recommend it more highly. The building and surrounding landscape is stunning, the staff are great and friendly (our host Shannon was fantastic), and the whisky/gin are very good – especially being such a new distillery. Feels incredibly peaceful on Raasay too if you want a quick reprieve from the busyness on Skye.
