Raasay Single Cask Selfridges Exclusive 70cl

Raasay Single Cask Selfridges Exclusive (2024) 70cl

Bottle number 12 of 148

Bottled in a Pedro Ximenez Quarter Cask which means HUGE flavour profile from the sherry as it is a smaller barrel so here we have good whisky, in a great barrel, at high strength. There is nothing more that we could want more than more age but then we will of course pay a lot more for it.

In 2015, Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day identified the Isle of Raasay as an ideal location for whisky making, and they quickly set about converting the island’s nineteenth-century Borodale House into a state-of-the-art distillery. Selfridges has hand selected a Quarter Cask Pedro Ximenez as part of an exclusive 166-bottle collaboration. Bottled at Cask Strength, this peated single malt has flavours of savoury spice, sweet dark fruits, raisins, dried figs, and a hint of saltiness.

Bottled exclusively for Selfridges with a sell out time of 20 minutes.

Tasting Notes 

Lightly peated with peppery spice, sweet fruit and nut flavours

About Raasay 

Co-founders Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day first met in 2013 and formed R&B Distillers with the common goal of building Scotland’s leading artisanal distiller. Focusing on local production, provenance, quality and doing things differently.

By 2015, they had identified the Isle of Raasay as providing the ingredients for the perfect dram, and planning permission to begin work revitalising the Isle of Raasay’s nineteenth century Borodale House into a state-of-the-art distillery, visitor centre, and luxury accommodation was granted in 2016.

Starting with a blank sheet of paper, they set about designing a distillery to create exceptional whisky that develops elegance, complexity, and depth early on in the maturation process and a handcrafted Hebridean gin that encapsulates Raasay’s style, character and impressive geological variety.
