The Story
Isle of Raasay Lightly Peated Single Malt Scotch Whisky
This flagship whisky was first introduced in 2021 and officially named The Draam in 2025. The unique six-cask recipe created by Master Distiller, Alasdair Day, remains unchanged. The same whisky we all know and love has a new name to define it and help you find it on the back bar.
Two Isle of Raasay spirits – peated and unpeated – are matured separately in first fill American Rye whiskey, fresh Chinkapin oak and Bordeaux red wine casks.
These six recipe casks marry together to create the perfect dram with real elegance, complexity and depth of character. Every drop of spirit is distilled, matured and bottled on the Isle of Raasay using water from our 60m well onsite.
When we set out to create the first legal Scotch whisky on the Isle of Raasay, our Master Distiller, Alasdair Day, looked to the older styles of Hebridean whiskies, laden with dark, fruit flavours and heather smoke. Combining tradition and modernity, our single malt encompasses the very best of new-wave whisky making.
A long maturation of 3-5 days creates those iconic dark fruit flavours, and our six-cask maturation process allows for each cask to impart their full flavours onto the spirit. Authentically, unapologetically, Raasay.
