With an alcohol content of 61.6% vol. at natural cask strength, it is unadulterated, authentic and impressively intense.<br><br>The maturation is based on a marriage of ex-Rye whiskey casks, fresh Chinkapin oak casks and first fill Bordeaux red wine casks, each of which is filled with both peated and unpeated spirit.

It is bottled without chill-filtration and without colorants, which guarantees its original purity and quality.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Tasting notes:</strong></p><p>Color: Honey gold with delicate red wine tones.<br><br>Nose: Dark fruits, sweet malt, red berries, vanilla and fine smoke.<br><br>Taste: Intense and complex with notes of dried fruit, toffee, chocolate, oak and subtle peatiness.<br><br>Finish: Long lasting, fruity, spicy and elegantly smoky.<br><br>The Isle of Raasay Cask Strength Hebridean Single Malt 2025 unfolds its full power at room temperature.
