‘Distillery Exclusive – Tourism Destination of the Year’ releases

The Isle of Raasay Distillery has unveiled a new limited-edition expression in celebration of winning the coveted Tourism Destination of the Year Award at the Scottish Whisky Awards 2022.

The new ‘Distillery Exclusive – Tourism Destination of the Year’ is inspired by the rugged yet beautiful windswept Isle of Raasay, with the team choosing a unique blend of sherry and ex-Manzanilla Pasada casks to achieve a salty maritime note within the whisky that encapsulates the island’s climate. Overall, this maturation process delivers a whisky which is lightly peated with notes of chamomile, almonds and salted caramel.

The newly released liquid is the product of being fully matured in ex Manzanilla sherry cask, and it has an ABV of 52 percent. It has a natural colour and is non chill filtered. Only 2,500 bottles of ‘Distillery Exclusive – Tourism Destination of the Year’ are being released which are exclusively available at their online whisky club and at the Isle of Raasay Distillery from 17th May 2023, with a retail price of £95.
