Raasay Dun Cana Sherry Quarter Cask 2nd Edition
Introducing the Raasay Dun Cana Sherry Quarter Cask 2nd Edition, a unique single malt whisky that embodies the spirit of the Isle of Raasay. Crafted by the innovative Raasay Distillery, this limited-edition release is a must-try for whisky enthusiasts who seek bold flavours, smooth texture, and a touch of island charm. The Dun Cana series is named after the highest peak on Raasay, symbolizing the heights of craftsmanship and quality that the distillery strives for in every bottle.
This 2nd Edition of the Dun Cana range is matured in sherry quarter casks, which impart a rich and vibrant complexity to the whisky. The smaller quarter casks, with their increased wood-to-whisky contact, accelerate the aging process, allowing the spirit to absorb the robust flavours of the sherry-seasoned wood. This results in a whisky that is both intense and refined, showcasing the signature style of Raasay with an added layer of depth.
Expect a luxurious bouquet of dried fruits, raisins, and dark chocolate on the nose, with a gentle undercurrent of oak and spice. On the palate, this whisky delivers a full-bodied experience, with flavours of rich toffee, ripe plums, and sherry sweetness, balanced by hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering taste of spiced fruitcake and a touch of sea breeze, a subtle nod to its coastal origin.
