DISTILLERY OF THE MONTH
Isle of Raasay

Isle of Raasay Single Malt The Draam

The Isle of Raasay iconic award-winning single malt first introduced in 2021 with the unique six-cask recipe created by Master Distiller, Alasdair Day. The Draam emulates an older style of Hebridean single malt whisky, but has a lighter, fragrant smokiness balanced with rich, dark fruit flavours. Honey gold in colour with hints of red wine hues, this whisky packs a depth of flavour that speaks beyond its years.

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.
