Description
🥃 RAASAY NA SIA UNPEATED EX-RYE SINGLE CASK
Alcohol Percentage (ABV): Varies by Cask (Typically 60%+)
Taste & Flavor Profile: This unique single malt is an intense, unpeated expression with a distinct spicy influence from its unusual cask finish. The nose is bright and inviting, showcasing green apple, pear skin, cinnamon, and a significant spicy, earthy aroma reminiscent of rye grain. The palate is powerful and full-bodied due to the cask strength, delivering flavors of vanilla cream, dried ginger, caramelized banana, and a sharp, memorable peppery clove spice derived from the rye barrel. The finish is long, dry, and spicy, leaving a warm impression of freshly baked rye bread.
Key Details: Na Sia (Gaelic for ‘The Six’) refers to the six signature tasting notes of the Raasay distillery. This is a limited Single Cask bottling of Raasay’s unpeated spirit, which has undergone maturation in a cask that previously held Rye Whiskey. This finishing technique is highly unusual for Scotch and imparts a unique, distinctively spicy character. Bottled at Cask Strength and non-chill filtered, this is a rare, complex, and collector-worthy whisky that showcases the distillery’s experimental ethos.
