RaasayHungarian Oak Limited Release – Sherry Cask

The Oak Species Maturation Series is back for a third year & this time putting the spotlight onto Quercus petraea from the Zemplén Mountains region in Hungary. In true Isle of Raasay Distillery style, we have used a combination of both our peated and unpeated Raasay spirit, which has been matured seperately in the cask type, then married together for a perfectly complex lightly peated taste.

What makes this release different to its predecessors is not only the species of oak used, but the fact the spirit has been fully matured in ex Oloroso sherry casks, rather than virgin oak.

The nose offers orange peel, roasted hazelnuts, geranium, cinnamon, ginger & sponge cake. This leds to a palate of ginger, coffee, sherry, dark chocolate with a finish of lingering sweet orange, ginger and smoky bacon....Delightful.
