Isle of Raasay Distillery, a leader in the new wave of whisky makers, is delighted to announce the release of a limited-edition whisky to celebrate International Women\u2019s Day. The Raasay Lassies Release, back for its second year, honours the women integral to the distillery\u2019s continued success.<\/p>\n

With women making up 50% of the Raasay team, this year\u2019s selection has been chosen by Finance Manager Lexy MacLeod, who has called Raasay home all her life and has worked with the distillery since 2018.<\/p>\n

Following last year\u2019s record-breaking release, a peated Chinkapin cask selection by Distillery Operator Naomi, the 2025 Raasay Lassies Release is set to raise the bar. This special edition pays homage to Lexy\u2019s favourite Raasay viewpoint and whisky, D\u00f9n Cana \u2014 an iconic expression from the Hebridean distillery that continues to inspire.<\/p>\n

Lexy has chosen two exceptional casks for this exclusive bottling: an Oloroso Quarter Cask and a Pedro Xim\u00e9nez Quarter Cask. Both these second-fill casks previously held the distillery\u2019s first ever sherry release from 2021, which is now widely known as D\u00f9n Cana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to select the whisky for this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day,\u201d Lexy shared. \u201cI have to admit, whisky isn\u2019t my usual go-to, but I knew it had to be sherry casks, like our D\u00f9n Cana release \u2014 which is my favourite Raasay whisky… well, it was until now!\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-founder and Master Distiller Alasdair Day added, \u201cFor those who love our D\u00f9n Cana release, this is definitely one to enjoy. Fully matured in Oloroso and PX casks, this whisky is heavily influenced by sherry characteristics but with the gentle smokiness that defines our Hebridean style. The combination of two sherry casks give it layers of sweetness and balance, while the light peat smoke builds to a warm, lingering finish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bottled at 52% ABV, this limited-edition release delivers a beautifully balanced experience. On the nose, expect aromas of plum, cherry, banana, with hints of candied ginger and salted almonds. The palate is smooth yet rich, where light peat smoke delicately mixes with ginger and almond, balanced with underlying sweetness. The finish lingers with gentle notes of peat.<\/p>\n

Every drop of Isle of Raasay spirit is distilled, matured and bottled on the Isle of Raasay. This particular expression also includes a bespoke label, designed and printed on the island. Depicting a classic cup of tea and a chocolate biscuit. Lexy explains, \u201cAnyone who knows me, knows my perfect soundtrack in the office is the sound of the kettle boiling, so it seemed like the obvious choice when I was asked what illustration I wanted on this whisky bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Home to a tight-knit community of just 161 residents, as stated on every Isle of Raasay whisky and gin label, the distillery is committed to crafting exceptional whisky that reflects both the island\u2019s rich history and its exciting future. The distillery represents the vibrant new wave of whisky makers in Scotland, blending tradition with a fresh, innovative approach that resonates with a global audience.<\/p>\n

This special International Women\u2019s Day release is priced at \u00a390 and is limited to just 380 bottles. It will be available for general sale from 5pm on Saturday, 8th March, on RaasayDistillery.com, with early access given exclusively to Isle of Raasay\u2019s Sl\u00e0inte Club members from Friday evening. So, if you’re not signed up to the newsletter, now is the time to do so.<\/p>\n
