The Chinkapin

Isle of Raasay Distillery single malt Scotch whisky, The Chinkapin has been fully matured in rare Chinkpin oak casks. 50.2% abv, natural colour, non-chill filtered – 1 x 70cl

The Chinkapin has landed, our third core Isle of Raasay Single Malt Whisky, 50.2% ABV, natural colour, non-chill filtered. Peated and unpeated spirit crafted with 100% Scottish barley and matured, separately, in fresh and refill Chinkapin Oak casks, then married together to create our signature lightly peated style of whisky.

Chinkapin Oak is an oak species from North America, not vastly used in the whisky industry. We like to think of it as our Raasay superpower. Many of you will know it is a componenet of our flagship whisky The Draam.  These rare oak casks have a high toast and heavy char and bring a delicious barbecue flavour to our lighly peated whisky.

This single malt whisky has been fully matured in Chinkapin oak casks, which is an industry first – as far as we know!
