The Isle of Raasay’s flagship whisky, The Draam, represents a new chapter in the distillery’s story. First released in 2021 and officially renamed in 2025, this exceptional single malt is crafted from a unique six-cask recipe created by Master Distiller Alasdair Day. With peated and unpeated spirit matured separately in ex-Rye whiskey, virgin Chinkapin oak, and Bordeaux red wine casks, The Draam delivers a whisky of depth, complexity, and character far beyond its age.
A playful name inspired by Scotland’s word for a measure of whisky, The Draam is unmistakably Raasay – lightly smoky, rich with dark fruits, and elegant with every sip.

Palate: Balanced layers of peat and unpeated spirit – vanilla toffee, dried fruits, subtle oak spice, and soft smokiness.
 
Finish: Lingering notes of sea salt, chocolate, and aromatic wood smoke with a silky mouthfeel.
