Isle of Raasay 5cl samples

Virtual Whisky Tastings

Explore the Isle of Raasay Distillery from the comfort of your home.

Let Raasay come to you as part of our virtual Scotch whisky tasting experiences. From the comfort of your own home, we will take through the unique six-part maturation of our signature Isle of Raasay Single Malt with six cask strength samples.

Two Isle of Raasay spirits – peated and unpeated – are matured separately in three distinct cask types – fresh Chinkapin oak, ex-Bordeaux red wine and Rye whiskey casks.

The signature Isle of Raasay Single Malt, released in May 2021, marries together careful proportions of these six signature casks to create the perfect lightly peated single malt with rich dark fruit flavours. A dram with real depth and complexity.

Virtual Whisky Tasting Reviews

  • A fun, educational, night. Loved it.

    Steve Atkiss
  • Excellent online service. Gin and accompaniments arrived spot on time and email communications from the Distillery were perfect and included delivery tracking information.

    Dr June LL
  • The London Whisky Club and its members enjoyed a fantastic online tasting session hosted by Raasay distillery. Alasdair talked us through a generous range of samples, as well as many of the exciting projects under way at the distillery. If you are thinking of joining one of their virtual tastings, we would highly recommend it.
