New look for island spirit

Island geology influenced new bottle.

THE Isle of Raasay Distillery has introduced a new bottle and packaging for its gin which has been inspired by Raasay’s geological variety, its unique water source and island shores.

The new bottle, a glass mould of real rocks, is designed to represent a fusion of tradition with contemporary thinking.

The gin itself, which was launched in 2019, was developed in conjunction with local botanist Dr Stephen Bungard, who helped the distillery team hand-pick juniper on the island for the recipe.
