About this whisky
Where waves meet wind blown peat, Raasay While We Wait emerges from the small coastal distillery on the Isle of Raasay. A tribute to patience and discovery, this single malt is created symbolically for the time it takes to build a new distillery. It’s coastal, introspective, and built with intention. Sipping it feels like savoring a long awaited arrival.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Profile
Nose: Crisp sea air lifts from the glass, gentle malt sweetness, green apple, coastal salinity, light floral tones, and a soft whisper of peat smoke.
Palate: Medium-bodied and balanced, notes of honeyed grain, orchard fruit, fragrant heather, and light coastal minerals. A touch of barley sweetness and sea-spray freshness rides the tongue.
Finish: Clean and persistent, soft smoke and gentle sea breeze linger with barley sweetness and light spice, fading with an echo of marine freshness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve neat in a clean whisky glass to appreciate subtleties. Add a few drops of water to open fruit and mineral layers further. Wonderful alongside fresh oysters, smoked salmon, or delicate cheeses.
