Vanilla and toasted oak, with warm spices, caramel, and a soft undertone of smoke.

Palate

Full and spicy with dark caramel, roasted nuts, and distinct BBQ notes. Peppery spices and slightly sweet wood smoke give the whisky extra depth.

Finish

Long and warming, with toasted oak, black pepper and a lingering combination of sweet BBQ and soft peat smoke.

The Isle of Raasay The Chinkapin demonstrates just how much influence a unique type of wood can have on whisky. For this single malt, the distillery uses both peated and unpeated spirit, which are matured separately in fresh and refill Chinkapin oak casks before being married together.

Chinkapin is a North American oak species that is rarely used for whisky. The casks receive a heavy toast and char, which aligns well with Raasay’s lightly peated house style and gives the whisky a distinctively spicy and toasted character. The Chinkapin is bottled at 50.2% ABV, without chill filtration and with natural colour.

A wonderful choice for those who enjoy discovering what wood can do to whisky: idiosyncratic and powerful, with Chinkapin oak clearly in the leading role and Raasay’s light peat as a recognisable foundation.
