This edition turns the spotlight on Quercus petraea, a distinguished Hungarian oak sourced from the Zemplén Mountains in the northeast of the country - a wood long celebrated for its role in ageing fine wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeparting from earlier releases in the series, this whisky spent its entire maturation in ex-Oloroso sherry barriques constructed from Hungarian oak. The result is a marriage of spicy, woody character from the oak itself with the deep, dried-fruit richness typically imparted by Oloroso sherry casks. Both peated and unpeated Raasay spirits were matured separately before being blended together, producing a whisky with a gentle smoky thread running at roughly 13-15 ppm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrue to the distillery's approach, the whisky is bottled without chill-filtration or added colouring, preserving its natural texture and hue. Production is strictly limited to just 8,000 bottles worldwide, making this a sought-after addition for collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBringing together the maritime island character of Raasay, the elegant spice of Hungarian oak, and the fruit-forward depth of Oloroso sherry maturation, this single malt stands as a genuinely multi-faceted expression - a fitting and exciting entry in the Oak Species Maturation Series for those who appreciate distinctive and thoughtfully crafted cask finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Isle of RAASAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55257111888201,"sku":"61223","price":94.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4575\/1008\/files\/7796b91391cd0b20693a12b67cfc893a.jpg?v=1788608268","url":"https:\/\/malva.si\/en\/products\/isle-of-raasay-hungarian-oak-single-malt-limited-release-50-vol-0-7l-giftbox","provider":"Malva","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
