Raasay Na Sia 5 year old Chinkapin Finish Unpeated

Raasay Na Sia 5 year old Chinkapin Finish - unpeated

Introducing the Virgin Chinkapin Oak Single Cask bottling by Isle of Raasay – a distinct expression of craftsmanship and innovation. These custom-made casks are crafted from Quercus Muehlenbergii, a type of American white oak native to central and eastern North America.

The freshly charred and high-toast process brings out the best in these Chinkapin oak casks. The charring imparts a rich colour and flavour early in the maturation process, while the high toast caramelises the natural sugars in the wood, enhancing the whisky's sweetness and complexity.
