Isle of Raasay Dùn Cana First Edition – The Volcanic Force of the Hebrides

Available format: 70cl

Product description

Inspired by Dùn Cana, the volcanic mountain that has dominated the Isle of Raasay for over 66 million years, this single malt represents one of the most ambitious expressions from the young and prestigious Isle of Raasay Distillery. This first edition combines the elegance of double maturation with the distinctive character of the island, merging peated and unpeated spirits to create a whisky of extraordinary complexity.

Its aging begins in American oak casks and continues in exclusive Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez casks, providing depth, richness, and exceptional balance. Its quality has been internationally recognized, being highlighted by Forbes after its acknowledgment at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition as one of the best whiskies in the world for 2024.
