Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Clean and approachable with plenty of orchard fruit notes, a touch of mint/menthol, shredded coconut, freshly cut lumber, angel food cake, and chamomile tea.
Palate: Warming, but light at 46% with notes of ripe peach and pear slices, shortbread cookies, unsalted cashews, honeydew melon, whipped cream, and a bit of gingery heat.
Finish: Light and easy with the cashew and fruit notes softly fading.
Comment: This light and fruity style screams Lowland stylistically. It is youthful but well put together. An easy-drinking dram from a young distillery worth watching.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: There is banana, pineapple and summer berries, with a slight herbal note.
Palate: Soft toffee, custard pastry and redcurrants.
Finish: Spicy ginger finish.

This is the first single malt from the Isle of Raasay Distillery to find its way to Canada, release R-01. Produced from 100% Scottish concerto barley, peated to 48-52ppm and matured in a mix of First fill ex-Rye Whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak, and first-fill Bordeaux red wine and bottled at 46.4%. The whisky is matured and bottled on the Isle of Raasay without chill filtering or added colouring.
From The Producer
“As part of our unique six-part maturation, we run peated and unpeated spirit at different times of the year and mature these two spirit types separately in three distinct varieties of oak casks – ex-Rye Whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak, and ex-Bordeaux red wine.
Once we have selected casks ready for bottling, we vat the six recipe casks together (in varying proportions) to develop the complexity, depth and elegance we are looking to achieve. It is then bottled as our signature lightly peated Isle of Raasay Single Malt (coming out in May 2021).
This six cask maturation policy provides us with six different styles of whisky from our single distillery, and when vatted together in the correct proportions, gives the elegance, complexity and depth of a much older whisky.”

The first release from the new Lowland Lindores Abbey Distillery was matured in ex-Bourbon, Sherry, & Wine Casks before bottling at 46%. Though just 3-4 years of age, the whisky shows a lot of promise.
This first release is a nod to the first-ever reference of whisky making, which took place at Lindores Abbey, now in ruins, in 1494. A letter to Friar John Cor was instructed by King James IV to make "auqa vitae, VIII bolls of malt." The ruins sit on lands owned by Drew and Helen McKenzie Smith. In 2017 they opened the Lindores Abbey Distillery with the intent of making it an estate distillery. Beginning in 2020, all of the barley used by the distillery was sourced from the surrounding fields.
