Raasay While We Wait
Review by Raasay
- Colour
Natural colour, heather tinted imparted from Tuscan red wine oak casks.
- Nose
Surprisingly very little smoke on the nose but instead light fruity notes come through.
- Palate
Instantly there is peat smoke and spice (a distant campfire, black pepper, liquorice, oak and then the sea breeze) slowly this is balanced with the dry fruit from the Tuscan red wine casks (black currant, blackberry, raspberry and cherries) all blending together leaving a tantalising, lingering taste of what is to come.
- Finish
A long lingering finish that on closing your eyes takes you to Raasay.
- Note
-
Pairs well with Sconser Scallops, Smoked Salmon, game, grouse, woodcock, venison, creamy blue cheese, bacon, haggis.
