Description
The Isle of Raasay Dùn Cana First Edition Sherry Quarter Cask Hebridean Single Malt Limited Release 52% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an exclusive whisky rarity from the Isle of Raasay, a small Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland. This limited edition combines the pioneering spirit of the young distillery with traditional craftsmanship and innovative cask maturation. The single malt is matured in hand-selected oak sherry quarter casks, which allow a more intensive interaction between the whisky and the wood due to their smaller size. This results in particularly powerful, aromatic notes that make this whisky unmistakable.
At 52% vol., the Dùn Cana First Edition is bottled at natural strength, naturally not chill-filtered and without colouring to preserve its original depth of character. This bottling impressively demonstrates how the Isle of Raasay Distillery combines the harsh influences of the Hebridean climate with rich sherry cask flavours. The limited 0.7 litre bottle in a gift box makes it a coveted collector’s item and a highlight for lovers of powerful single malts.

The Isle of Raasay Dùn Cana Sherry Quarter Cask is best enjoyed neat in a nosing glass or with a drop of water to open up the variety of flavours. It is an excellent accompaniment to hearty dishes such as grilled beef or lamb chops, as its sherry spice and subtle smoke emphasise the roasted flavours. It also harmonises well with strong cheeses such as Stilton or mature cheddar, as well as with dark chocolate or a juicy fruit tart. For special moments of pleasure, it is also suitable as an accompaniment to an aromatic cigar.
