The Isle of Raasay Distillery is a remarkable and unique distillery on the Isle of Raasay in Scotland. It was founded in 2017 and is the first legal distillery on the island, meticulously designed to produce the finest Scottish whisky. The distillery uses water drawn directly from the island's well, Tobar na Ba Bàine, and combines it with exclusively Scottish barley to create their spirits.
The Isle of Raasay Distillery is known for its innovative processes, which include long fermentation times and a unique selection of casks for maturation. This allows for the creation of a Scottish whisky that reflects the island's unique terroir.
The distillery on the Isle of Raasay is also distinguished by its unique architecture, as it houses not only production facilities but also a visitor center and luxury accommodations for guests. This makes it a popular destination for whisky enthusiasts who want to experience the entire whisky-making process - from grain to glass - in a stunning natural setting.
However, as the distillery was established relatively recently, its first Isle of Raasay Single Malt was only released in 2020. Despite this, the distillery has quickly developed an impressive range of spirits, including the Isle of Raasay Single Malt and Isle of Raasay Gin, reflecting the brand's commitment to quality and innovation.
