Isle of Raasay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Reviews

Really easy drinking yet complex. We bought this as a gift after sampling some a few years ago in Raasay.

L FN
Beautiful and smooth and stands out from the crowd.

John Bennett
This is a stunning whisky. I first tried at a tasting event and it stuck in my mind as being a wonderful collaboration of heather, honey and smoke (medium peat). A few months later I treated myself to a bottle and it’s lived up to my memory from the tasting. Really lovely. For anyone trying it, I find it opens up well and is silky smooth with a few drops of water.

Ruth
Just love the smooth, rich peaty taste of this single malt. Best flavour ever.

Kevin Archard
Proper whisky taste. Warming and full bodied. Annoyed it has taken me so long to find my new favourite malt. Excellent job.

Susan Watkins
Love it nice flavours with a hint of bonfire
