Raasay Distillery Visit | Meet the Raasay Distillery

The Isle of Raasay Distillery is the first legal distillery on Raasay, an island in the Inner Hebrides. It was opened in September 2017.

The tax laws of 1788 prohibited stills under one hundred gallons in capacity. In 1823, an amendment to the law added a tax on distillation. Therefore, illegal Whisky distilling had a great tradition on the island.

In 2014, Bill Dobbie and Alasdair Day founded R&B Distillers (Raasay & Borders), with the goal of establishing a distillery in Scotland. In 2017, they opened the first legal distillery on the island of Raasay.

We were allowed to visit the Raasay distillery and got exciting insights that we don't want to withhold from you.
