]]> In May 2017, Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day brought barley growing back to Raasay after more than 40 years. Since then, the old Icelandic barley varieties Bere and Iskria have flourished here. This was not yet enough as a basis for the distillery’s pioneer malt. Malt from Scottish barley, still kilned over Highland peat (local peat is already being planned for further bottlings), forms the basis for the Isle of Raasay Single Malt Inaugural Release 2020. Slightly smoky, with rich aromas of dark fruits and in a natural, strong reddish brown, the Scotch sensually introduces the distilling style of the Raasay Distillery – and creates anticipation for the Core Range expected in May 2021. Other special features of the whisky: the Raasay water filtered through volcanic sedimentary rock and the unusually long fermentation of 96 to 110 hours. This maintains the high mineral content of the water and thus ensures the characteristic berry-fruity taste even before any barrel contact.

It combines peated and unpeated raw spirits from the distillery. Both types of raw spirit are matured separately on Raasay's coast in three types of casks each: First Fill Rye Whiskey Casks, Virgin Chinkapin Oak Casks and First Fill Bordeaux Red Wine Casks.

The Na Sia Single Cask Series showcases the distinctive flavours of each of these six casks individually:

For the Peated Chinkapin Oak Cask and Unpeated Chinkapin Oak Cask bottlings, the North American oak casks are freshly charred and toasted. This treatment gives the single malts a rich colour early on and a powerful aroma characterised by sweet toffee, dark fruits and ginger.
