Online Tasting with Alasdair Day

$49 per person ~ seven 15ml samples, shipping and live Zoom access included.
Six casks. Seven drams. An evening with Alasdair Day, Master Distiller for Isle of Raasay.
Following the success of our Finn Thomson evening, we’re delighted to welcome another special guest to your screens. Join us for an exploration of 'Na Sia' ("The Six" in Gaelic) ~ the six cask components at the heart of Raasay’s distinctive single malt ~ with Alasdair sharing his knowledge and perspective on each cask style that contributes to its signature character.
Raasay’s recipe combines peated and unpeated spirit matured separately in American rye whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak and Bordeaux red wine casks. This tasting brings together all six five-year-old Na Sia single cask expressions, before culminating in Isle of Raasay Cask Strength: the six component styles brought together in one whisky.
