About the distillery

Distillery

Isle of Raasay

Raasay is a small island in the Inner Hebrides, part of Scotland's Islands region, with fewer than 200 residents. People had been distilling illicitly there for centuries. No one had ever done it legally until Isle of Raasay opened its doors on 14 September 2017. Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day founded R&B Distillers in 2013 and built the distillery inside a restored Victorian house overlooking the sea. Everything is produced, matured, bottled, and marketed on the island itself, letting Raasay's climate and water shape the spirit from start to finish. The house style is a lightly peated single malt with rich dark fruit character, echoing older Hebridean whisky traditions. The project now employs more than 25 islanders, most in their twenties and thirties, giving Raasay's small community a genuine stake in the whisky. It was named Scottish Whisky Distillery of the Year in 2025.
