Raasay Single Malt Hungarian Oak Limited Release, Scottish malt Scotch whisky, 50% abv, natural colour, non-chill filtered – 1 x 70cl

Our  Oak Species Maturation Series is back for a third year , this time putting the spotlight onto Quercus petraea from the Zemplén Mountains region in Hungary. In true Isle of Raasay Distillery style, we have used a combination of both our peated and unpeated Raasay spirit, which has been matured seperately in the cask type, then married together for a perfectly complex lightly peated taste.

What makes this release different to its predecessors is not only the species of oak used, but the fact the spirit has been fully matured in ex Oloroso sherry casks, rather than virgin oak.

This choice allows the inherent spiciness of the Hungarian Oak to be softened and enriched by the deep, dried-fruit profile of the Oloroso. With only 8000 bottles available worldwide, this Limited Release won’t be around for long!
