Isle of Raasay Scottish Gin

Isle of Raasay Hebridean Gin

Isle of Raasay Gin

Dry, zesty, refreshing and smooth

Presenting our handcrafted Scottish island gin, now in a bottle as beautifully crafted as the liquid inside. Our bottle is a reflection of the impressive island geology and our recipe combines ten carefully chosen botanicals, including Raasay juniper, sweet orange peel, lemon peel, and our double distilled spirit.

Bottled at 46% using water from our well, this is the first legal spirit from an island rooted in centuries of illicit distilling.

Every drop of our Scottish gin is lovingly distilled and bottled on the Isle of Raasay.

Handcrafted Scottish Island Gin

Local botanist Dr Stephen Bungard helped us hand-pick only the finest Raasay juniper on the island.

We crafted the perfect balance of flavours by distilling the juniper along with a select few botanicals in our copper malt spirit still, and vapour infusing the rest in our copper gin basket to retain their vibrancy.

Our distillers make the cut when the citrus reveals itself and collect only the “heart” of the run, the very best quality spirit.

The creation and presentation of our Scottish island gin is inspired by Raasay’s impressive geological variety, our unique water source, island shores and state-of-the-art distillery. A fusion of tradition with contemporary thinking, process, and design. That’s the Raasay way.

The Island in a Bottle

Our new bottle is a true encapsulation of the Isle of Raasay’s style, character and impressive geological variety.

The bottle is a glass mould of juniper, rocks and fossils found on Raasay. Read more below on how this bottle came to be, starting from the design journey right through to the birth of the bottle.

    Niccy Townley
  • Lovely gin, well worth the trip to the beautiful Isle of Raasay and to this distillery. Make it your go to on holiday to the Isle of Skye, great ferry trip (short) you can take the car or be a foot passenger and a little walk will take you to the distillery.

    Elizabeth
  • Clean, fresh tasting gin…mixed beautifully with light fever tree tonic x

    Chloe
  • A lovely blend of so many ingredients which my son in law could impressively identify, all adding to the most pleasing gin. I took the recommendation from the top 10 best gins in Scotland and it was an excellent choice.
