Isle of Raasay Distillery has released the third edition of its Cask Strength Single Malt Scotch Whisky.
Following two sell-out years, this latest expression showcases the distillery’s signature Na Sia six-cask maturation process and house style, lightly peated with rich dark fruit flavours, but this time with no dilution for maximum flavour and a bold 61.6% ABV.
This limited-edition release uses the same six-cask recipe as The Draam but bottled at a natural cask strength. Na Sia (meaning ‘The Six’ in Gaelic) is Raasay’s signature cask recipe where peated and unpeated spirit is matured separately in three distinct cask types: Rye Whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine, before being married together. The result is a lightly peated whisky with an elegant yet powerful profile full of rich dark fruit notes and a well-balanced profile of spice, smoke and sweetness.
The 2025 Cask Strength release is bottled at 61.6% ABV, non-chill filtered, and naturally coloured.
Isle of Raasay co-founder and master distiller Alasdair Day commented: “For some, the closest you can get to a ‘pure’ representation of a distillery’s single malt is the whisky straight from a cask at the pure, untouched alcohol strength. There are very few distilleries that bottle their signature single malt at cask strength, so this makes it quite a special release.”
There are 5,500 bottles available worldwide, and the Isle of Raasay Single Malt Cask Strength is available to purchase directly as well as from independent retailers for £65.
