Cask No. 162.9
Tropical Storms On The Port Side
$110
Just east of the Isle of Skye, this distillery sits perched high on the Isle of Raasay. Alasdair Day started this distillery as an homage to his grandfather's Teasdale blended whisky from generations ago. He achieves this by blending single malt aged in Chinkapin, Malbec and Rye casks for a beautifully complex sipper. This bottling is an unpeated single cask matured in a "High Rye" barrel. The result is a stone fruit and tropical fruit display with notes of sea breeze, flowers and baked treats.... Summer in a bottle.

Tasting Panel Notes
A brisk sea breeze swept over the bow, carrying the scent of peach and pineapple yoghurt mixed with the floral aroma of chamomile and summer meadows. Clinging to the hull we found sticky liquorice and salted caramel, while mint sweets and bottles of dark ale rolled across the deck. Water brought a change of tide as tins of fruit salad with pineapples and peaches tumbled in the hold, crashing into our cargo of frangipane tarts, crushed shells and candied almonds. Finally, in the galley, strawberry sherbet, soft banana sweets and baklava sloshed around in a tub of orange blossom water.
