The Draam is the Isle of Raasay Distillery’s signature single malt whisky. 46.4% ABV, natural colour, non-chill filtered.
Lightly peated with rich, dark fruit flavours.
This flagship whisky was first introduced in 2021 and officially named The Draam in 2025. The unique six-cask recipe created by Master Distiller, Alasdair Day, remains unchanged. The same whisky we all know and love has a new name to define it and help you find it on the back bar.
Two Isle of Raasay spirits – peated and unpeated – are matured separately in first fill American Rye whiskey, fresh Chinkapin oak and Bordeaux red wine casks.
These six recipe casks marry together to create the perfect dram with real elegance, complexity and depth of character.
Every drop of spirit is distilled, matured and bottled on the Isle of Raasay using water from our 60m well onsite.
When we set out to create the first legal Scotch whisky on the Isle of Raasay, our Master Distiller, Alasdair Day, looked to the older styles of Hebridean whiskies, laden with dark, fruit flavours and heather smoke. Combining tradition and modernity, our single malt encompasses the very best of new-wave whisky making.
A long maturation of 3-5 days creates those iconic dark fruit flavours, and our six-cask maturation process allows for each cask to impart their full flavours onto the spirit.
Authentically, unapologetically, Raasay.
We mash only 100% Scottish barley in all our production, and we have also grown and malted Raasay barley using local peat for future 100% Isle of Raasay Single Malt releases.
Our barley is malted using Highland peat, giving a rich, fragrant smokiness to our spirit.
Falling as rain on Dùn Cana, the island’s highest peak, our water flows across volcanic rock and filters through Jurassic sandstone into our distillery well, Tobar na Ba Bàine (the Well of the Pale Cow).
History flows through this mineral-rich Raasay water that adds character to our single malt Scotch whisky spirit at every stage of production, from mashing, to cask reduction and bottling.
We handpick only the finest oak casks and mature all Raasay spirit in our island warehouses, maximising the influence of our maritime, Hebridean climate on the spirit.
Raasay’s landscape is incredible. Much of the geological history of Scotland is here in one form or another. Our decanter-like glass bottle captures this rugged natural beauty. With Raasay’s fossils and rocks moulded into the glass, holding it is like holding a piece of Raasay in your hands no matter where you are in the world. A fusion of tradition with contemporary thinking, process, and design. That’s the Raasay way.
As a small-batch, handcrafted distiller there will always be slight variation between each batch depending on the composition of that particular bottling.
