Raasay Single Malt Marsala Cask Limited Release, Scottish malt Scotch whisky, 50.7% abv, natural colour, non-chill filtered – 1 x 70cl

Expertly crafted from Raasay’s lightly peated spirit and fully matured in ex Frazzitta Marsala Vergine barriques, before being bottled at a robust 50.7% ABV. This Marsala-matured single malt is laden with flavours of baked apples with apricots and lingering smoked toffee, representing a unique confluence of Sicilian wine heritage and modern Scottish whisky craftsmanship that results in a rare, highly collectible expression.

Frazzitta is a historic Marsala producer founded in the 19th century, known for aging Marsala wines over long periods; their casks are often found in trade and collectors’ circles. Marsala Vergine is one of the highest classifications in the Marsala wine family, a fortified wine from Marsala, Sicily, protected by the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC). The barrels used are typically seasoned with Marsala Vergine for decades. Marsala Vergine casks, particularly from a historic producer like Frazzitta, are extremely rare in the whisky industry, offering a distinctive and authentic Marsala cask finish unlike most Marsala-finished whiskies.
