The result: delicious notes of vanilla and caramel with a long aftertaste of crème brûlée.

]]> 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.

]]> More than 3,600 supporters made the GlenWyvis Distillery project possible. Founded in 2015 in the Scottish Highlands near Inverness, the whisky distillery is entirely community-owned. A record-breaking crowdfunding campaign funded the £3.8 million project, reviving the distilling tradition of Dingwall after 90 years.
Nestled between the foothills of Ben Wyvis, GlenWyvis brings together renewable energy (the distillery is completely independent of the electricity grid) with local barley, long fermentation and traditional copper stills. The result is a robust single malt, fragrant and fruity. The small distillery released its first whisky at the end of 2021.
