Description
This single malt is the first release from R&B Distillers Ltd from their distillery on the Isle of Raasay, which is just off the Isle of Skye. It is a blending of two expressions from the distillery, one unpeated and one peated then finished in Tuscan red wine casks from three vineyards and two different grape varieties. The Tuscan wine casks add a beautiful pink tinge to the whisky.
Tasting Notes
| Nose |
| The WSD: Quite sweet wafting honeysuckle, ripe pears, quince jelly and rose petal perfume (V). |
| Taste |
| The WSD: The palate quite different though - spicy to start with wisps of smoke blowing on the breeze, soft summer fruits in the background which turn to tropical fruits after a short while. Oranges infused with cinnamon then lead to a spiced liquorice finish which is warming all the way down (V). |
