The Isle of Raasay Distillery opened its doors in September 2017. Focused on building Scotland’s leading artisanal distiller, co-founders Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day transformed the nineteenth century Borodale House into a state-of-the-art distillery. Inspiration for the Isle of Raasay Single Malt came from some older styles of Hebridean Single Malts and their signature flavour profile is a lightly peated whisky, balanced with rich dark fruit flavours. Part of the distillery’s ethos is to produce, mature, bottle and market every drop of spirit directly from the island.
