Taking inspiration from its island home, this release is named after Raasay's highest peak, ‘Dùn Cana’ – pronounced ‘Doon Caa-nuh’.

Released in September 2024, this brand new dram is another excellent offering from the Isle of Raasay Distillery which celebrates its home turf, giving a nod to both its history and landscape in the naming. The annual single malt release brings further depth and richness to the iconic core range, with a carefully differing cask composition and age. This bottling, which sits at 52% ABV, has a breath of peat dancing between its other elements with an estimated 6ppm.

Its first maturation took place in first-fill ex Rye Woodford Reserve US Kentucky American Oak, giving it the signature oak spice, but its the second maturation that really makes this liquid so special. Finished off in the distillery's classic Oloroso and Pedro Ximenez Sherry quarter casks for a truly unique flavour profile. This whisky exudes peppery spice, dried sultanas and hints of vanilla with a finish of lingering salty chocolate and a light hint of aromatic wood smoke.
