Isle of Raasay 5 Year Old Na Sia Single Cask Series - Peated Rye Cask
Raasay
Tasting Notes
Isle of Raasay's 5 Year Old Na Sia Single Cask Series is a unique gem, combining the smoky essence of Scotch with the spicy boldness of American rye. Aged in an oak cask that previously held Woodford Reserve rye whiskey, this spirit boasts a remarkable fusion of flavors. The nose tantalizes with notes of black pepper, butterscotch, zesty lemon peel, and a hint of raspberry, complemented by the charred oak and a refreshing touch of peppermint. On the palate, sweet spices take the lead, accompanied by toffee, coconut, blackcurrant cough sweets, wood smoke, and herbs. The finish lingers with a delightful medley of spice and thick caramel sweetness. Bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered, and showcasing its natural color, this Scotch whisky is a true testament to the art of blending traditions and pushing boundaries.
