I’m delighted to have tried this new gem from the Isle of Raasay. Thanks for sharing, Alex. The nose is spritely, with notes of springtime moss and coneflower lifting from the glass. Given the youthfulness of the whisky, its taste is malty and pleasantly wort driven. Flavors of yellow pear, fresh lemon zest, and sunflower seed arrive as the scotch comes to the cooler outdoor temperature. The finish is barley-centric and ozonic. Raasay has offered the best first-batch, young scotch I’ve ever tasted, and, already reminiscent of Tobermory and Arran, it promises to be a worthy peer among the Hebrides distilleries.
