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.

Great video Ben. It must have been a planes trains and automobiles……… and a boat to get to the isle of Raasay. I visited last year and it was well worth the journey. A beautiful distillery with scenic views and I enjoyed the whisky very much.

Great video! I finished my own bottle of Raasay some time ago and it's on my list to repeat buy. Your video has just nudged it up several places on that list.

Great video on a superb, extraordinary distillery with a special team that really carries Raasay, the island, the community, the distillery in their hearts! I love it! Not only a very, very nice whisky, bit also the most beautiful bottle in the world of whisky! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙋🏽‍♂️

I'd agree if it was a 750 ml bottle.

Probably the best distillery tour and interview that I have seen. Really drew me into Raasay, the distillery and its whisky. I have a bottle of R.01.1 and love it despite its youth, can't wait to see how the whisky develops.

Fantastic video! I did all the marketing materials and led the tours and tastings at the distillery from 2017 until last year (when youtube work began to take up all my time) and I always wanted to make a video like this going over all the features and aspects of our process. Great job!

Second comment below, these videos are really great. Very imformative, very well presented, and is really a dream for us people nowhere near Scotland to be able to virtually experience this! Thank you.
